From the rear cover
Praise for Gregory Orr
"A Walt Whitman without an inch of Whitman's bunting or oratory. Gregory Orr is a gorgeous poet."
- Mary Oliver
"Gregory Orr's poems have always had the stunning ability to place mindfulness almost instantly back inside the mind."
- Naomi Shahib Nye
"Gregory Orr is a kind of oracular bard, praising...the enduring capacity of the poetic imagination."
- Craig Morgan Teicher, NPR
"Orr's graceful lines convey complex ideas about the ability of language to shape how people experience and act in the world...[His] writing feels transcendent. Language shines, shimmers, delights, and rises as high as it can."
- Elizabeth Lund, Christian Science Monitor
"A reader unfamiliar with Orr's work may be surprised, at first, by the richness of both action and visual detail that his succinct, spare poems convey. Lyricism can erupt in the midst of desolation."
- Boston Globe
"Ultimately a poetry of emergence from 'the cave of self, ' Orr's work moves us along the slender edge between shadow and light, the hidden and revealed, endurance and defeat."
- Harvard Review
"[Orr's] focus is so unwaveringly aimed toward the transcendent...that we seem to slip into a less cluttered time."
- Virginia Quarterly Review
