- Highly charged, stingingly beautiful lyrics. --John Ashbery@lt;br@gt;- Magisterial, the book's verbal generosity and bravura, its humanity make it a continuing delight. --Marilyn Hacker@lt;br@gt;- I love Stanley Moss's poetry. Again and again, coming upon a poem of Stanley Moss's I have had the feeling of being taken by surprise, not simply by the eloquence and the direct authenticity of the language, for I have come to expect those in his poems. The surprise comes from the nature of his poetry itself, and from the mystery that his poems confront and embody. --W.S. Merwin
