Praise for this book
"Only a few poets transcend the history of taste to participate in the history of art--and only in a handful of poems. Salter has been struck by lightning more than once." --James Longenbach, The New York Times Book Review "Poems that are deeply human, brilliantly realized, and refreshingly perceptive." --Julie Hale, BookPage
