"These admirable poems, as precise in expression as they are concise in content, alternately touching and unexpectedly amusing, pithy, elegant and opaque, leave no more to the imagination than is required for their elucidation. Neat in both modern senses of that word, without undue self-regard, let alone self-pity, they nonetheless exude a faint but pervasive aroma of regret."
-- Daryl Hine, former editor of "Poetry Magazine"
