Review:
"There is nothing notational or offhand about Dings's poems. Each is an exploration, intense and riveting." --Mark Strand
"A real find. . . . He's one of those rare poets who finds expression in our ineffable, everyday lives." --San Diego Union-Tribune
"Dings reaches for nothing less than the great themes of loss and death and the attempt to still discover a life, some light that allows us to live beyond our immediate circumstances. Dings is a true craftsman and knows absolutely an intelligent music must prevail, and it does, wonderfully, in this book."
--Christopher Buckley
