Kate Johnson'
s
gift
is
to
make the inner life
so
clear
and
concrete
as to
fix
a
self
to
the page. She confronts sUffering without erasing the possibility oj love.
or
denying the presence oJjoy. Distilled and direct. plain and mysterious
at
once.
these poems involve
us
in moments in the work oj souL-making .
-Mark Doty
Oh. where have
we
been exiledJrom-ourJamilies? Ourselves?
The source
oj
our
spirit? Kate Johnson's voice calls out Jrom the wildemess oj right here-the
wounded self surviving. human. ever asking
to be
healed. This poetry is both
prayer and the grace it praysJor: clear. rigorous. and infused with
a
love oJ this
world where "we can't even see what
it
is
we
see by."

OJ the overlooked poets oj
our
time. Aaron Fogel may
be
the most brilliant and
the mos t imaginatively complex.
If
you haven't read him. there is great pleasure
in your immediatefuture. I love his work.
-David Lehman
Aaron Fogel lets his extraordinary and thoroughly original intelligence write his
heartbreaking. witty and complex poems Jor him. Some oj his poems
are
Jairly
difficult-but theirs is an eamed d!1Jkulty. bom oJthe complexity oJhis thought.
oJhis experience. oJthe world
as
he parses it
and
understands it. His poems
are
so
smart and
so
surprising and
so
interesting. while constantly remaining loyal
to
the lackluster day-to-day actuality oj this world.
