“The language here is so muscular, the metaphors so sharply and freshly drawn, the insights so unsentimental, that I was won over to the breadth and depth of the work, the new facets of masculinity revealed by a writer who insists on telling the blunt and rocky truth about what it has meant to him to be a man.” -Alison Hawthorne Deming, author of Writing the Sacred into the Real
“In his highly re-readable compressions of a difficult lifetime, Wilson’s depth and craft give lessons in the force of few words, the unsaid as a presence.” -Reg Saner, author of Climbing into the Roots
“This is some of the most powerful contemporary American poetry I’'ve read.” -Gregory L. Candela,Southwest BookViews
