Synopsis

The Look Back is


...a journal of the poet's progress through time, across varied horizons, and within personally-

significant as well as culturally- and geographically-shared landscapes, all presented in accessible and

familiar yet original language.

--Jonas Zdanys, Poetry International


The geographies of Jennings' life permeate his poems...the landscape is a character in its own right.

It is a presence infiltrating all that lives within it.

--Bob Darling The Tar River Poetry Review


His satisfying lines sing with memory, endured longing, and an imperfect sense of self, striving to

make sense of mortality.

--Ken Hada, World Literature Today


Reading the love lyrics...feels like falling in love. We follow the development of a romance

that...turns the tawdry dross of adultery into the gold of clean-washed emotion. Everything sparkles

freshly in these poems.

--Jay Rogoff The Southern Review


...a Muse book for the most part, deftly dancing with death and the seasons, full of wisdom and

rhyme, assonance and alliteration, pace, silence, love, all those elements that are poetry or should

define what poetry is.

--Kerry Shawn Keys, Rain Taxi


His gift is to reflect the immensity of life, both exterior and interior.

--Susan Deer Cloud, Stone Canoe
