""Edward Hirsch's gifts include an emotional richness coupled with a precise sense of language and metaphor, which makes his best poems wonderful to read.""
-Stephen Dobyns, New York Times Book Review
""Hirsch possesses an uncanny vividness of memory springing, it seems, from an infinite fund of affection and sadness...
There is a wonderful simplicity and clarity in the best of these poems.""
-Liz Rosenberg, Philadelphia Inquirer
Straightforward and precise, these poems...beckon the reader with their immediacy...
With humility and passion, Hirsch illuminates the contradictory resilience and weakness of the human spirit.""
