"I am a long-time admirer of McGinn's work, but this book is a real eye-opener. I have never known him-or anyone else-to take such chances. There are treasures here. And there is absolute nakedness, and the healing power of love. I would be proud to see my name somewhere on this book." --Jack McCarthy, Author of Say Goodnight, Grace Notes: New and Corrected Poems

"When I first met Daniel McGinn, outside a coffeehouse where I was hosting an open reading, I little imagined this shy, unassuming man would turn out to be one of the most talented poets I would ever meet. It has been with excitement, and no small bit of jealousy, that I have watched his talent grow and mature over the past fifteen years. This book shows just what I have been admiring all that time." --G. Murray Thomas author of My Kidney Just Arrived and Cows on the Freeway

"There is no other poet on the planet like Daniel McGinn; his writing speaks with a skinless honesty. It is never overdressed and even its sorrows are always strangely comforting. I have waited a decade for this book to happen and I envy anyone who gets to experience McGinn's poetry for the first time. Daniel McGinn is the quiet giant of contemporary American poetry and I guarantee this book will never leave you." --Rachel McKibbens, author of Pink Elephant
