Review
"ALGEBRA OF NIGHT! I just love this book. It is a dazzling cross-section of his passionate wisdom and wit. With Borgesian scope and cunning, in free verse or invisible sonnets, Barnstone floats us to resonant surprise. Out of an extraordinary life and the richness of many languages, literatures and travels ranging over the world, this gorgeous energy of a poet of genius. I don't believe he sleeps!" -- Ruth Stone
"Willis Barnstone has a problem: he's too good. Everything he writes... is a breathtaking achievement." -- Carolyn Kizer
The free movement of consciousness, the mind operating the universe, are here the expression of a mature, hugely ranging person, giving his poems a poignancy and wisdom not normally seen. There is art and cunning, form, ruthless honesty, and it is not self-serving. -- Gerald Stern

Review
Willis Barnstone has a problem: he's too good. Dazzlingly gifted as a writer ... everything he writes, from his invaluable The Other Bible, which no writer should be without, through his brilliant translations and beautiful poems, up to this new collection, is a breathtaking achievement. Buy this book. (Carolyn Kizer )
