Advanced Praise
“… a dazzling procession of images, attitudes, and ideas, which exhibit a certain logic but achieve most of their meaning by implication.… His poems pose philosophical questions, but … the poems are enormously compressed, often tense with unresolved or even unresolv-able emotion.” —Dana Gioia, Horses on Drums
“Reading these lovely, brainy poems is like stepping into a boat wearing a blindfold.” — Diane Middlebrook, Flip Days
