Charles Edward Eaton
Recent comments
on
Eoton's work:
"Monologues of encounter with hitherto unknown but
persistent human capacities, Eaton's lyrics devastatingly
unveil the strangeness within us all. Readers of poetry
should welcome his technical dexterity and generous in–
sights. "
-Choice
"
a poet of almost surrealist imaginative leaps and
gambolings. "
- The Washington Star
"I have read and re-read the contents to be dazzled each
time by the variety, the simple thewed strength, and the
ability to surprise that these pages contain....
I
cannot
tell you how gratified
I
am to be reintroduced to this
invariably new and recognizably matured author. He is
among our best and his blade is always sharp."
-Charles Tomlinson
"Poems like these show Eaton at his best: the talons
grip in the first few lines and then powerful, noiseless
wings sweep the reader away. Only a combination of disci–
pline, experience, and rich talent could produce this
volume."
