What People are Saying About This

John Rybicki

“The poems in this collection—born out of father and Iowa and desert, born out of the burning and visionary places—possess a gravitational pull so powerful I can feel the great bards of the language (Dickinson, Stevens, Bishop) craning over my shoulder to read.”
