I've been afervent admirer of Larry Kramer's poemsfor years, as his is.
. .
a
rare poetic intelligence whose surfaces
and
depth continuaUy surprise and
delight his readers. This is
a
remarkable and moving book.
-Lynne McMahon
LyricaUy charged, passionately conceived, completely free of the moribund
trappings of literary fashion,
the
music of these poems rises
to
the pitch of
their grandly secular vision.

Orten is
a
wonderful poet
and one
of the best practitioners offree verse
writing today. The sounds of his poems bang and glide. Mostfine poetry
strikes the mind and heart. This is
true
of Orten
as
well,
but
his poems also
strike the ear_ Theyfeel good in the mouth.
-Stephen Dobyns
Orlen's Bridge of Sighs, like Eliot's "Pn,ifrock," is filled with many human
voices,
but
they are the voices around us, the recognizable voices of people
we know too weLL ... He buildsfrom memory, from
old
photographs,
mental snapshots of the past, and he knows where
to
break
a
line and also
how to break your heart.

Debra Bruce
I admire Debra Bruce's adroit use ofform. Through
it,
p'aradoxically, she
has acquired the freedom to confront subjects that range from cancer to
infertility and she does so with grace.
-Maxine Kumin
Along with such poets
as
Marilyn Hacker, Jane Kenyon, and Mary Oliver,
Bruce has given us another woman's voice we have to listen to!
