Jim Simmerman'sfinest poems.
.
.are astonishing moments of empathy and
generosity
to
others. Simmerman
sounds
like a young American Philip
Larkin
in some
of these poems.
-Denver Quarterly
Ifforced
to
compare [Simmerman]
to
another contemporary poet,
I'd
have
to
posit a composite: Bill Knott (Jor plauful inventiveness) plus Marilyn
Hacker (Jor formal competence) plus Philip Levine (Jor his good heart). If
that
seems
like an unlikely aesthetic mix
to
dwell
in
one poet, such are the
surprises
in these poems.

[The] slide
into and away from violence energizes her work.
.. .
Like Rilke,
she
is
a poet trying
to
leave the cerebral behind
her
in
order
to
move into a
more spiritual realm via the
senses.
-The
Indiana Review
Like all
successful
spell casters, Nance Van Winckel knows just what
to
offer, just what
to
withhold. And through
these
assured, finely crafied
poems,
we follow her brilliant
summons
into all the worlds of "after-ing":
desire, pursuit, the shaping of time.

I've been afervent admirer of
Larry
Kramer's
poems
for years, as his
is. .
.
a
rare poetic intelligence whose surfaces and depth continually surprise and
delight his readers.
This is
a remarkable and moving book.
-Lynne McMahon
Lyrically 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.
