Review:
Epoch"
The New York Times Book Review"
Poetry"
These poems are splendidly direct, magnificently simple; sometimes the phrasing is so elegantly obvious that the heart jumps at it This is a book which ought to be read at least three times, and then maybe once a month for as long as one lives. The first three readings are essential, if the reader is going to get much from these poems; they seem to make so few demands, they look so obvious, they are so subtle. Hal Smith, Epoch"
His is a world haunted by the past and apprehensive of the future. It is, symbolically, the world of contemporary experience. Gene Baro, The New York Times Book Review"
I like the force here, the clarity and directness, the language bound intimately with idea and image; and the harshness, the precision, the sense of fitness and place for every syllable. Harry Strickhausen, Poetry"
