Editorial Reviews

Review
“Martin once again shows his virtuosity as a poet with a wonderfully tuned ear and a command of the rhythmical line....The poems throughout show the spirit of the poet at work with his losses and loves, and the result is a book of deeply human and poetical power.” —Len Roberts<br><br><br><br> “If poetry has a physical shape on the page, then it has a spiritual body as well. It is from this place Herb Martin writes, in his intricate, narrative, and lyrical way–like no one else–showing our hard humanity held up against the weather of heaven.” —Grace Cavalieri
