Editorial Reviews

Review

While his narrators rarely forget their ultimate fate, they are blessed with insight enough to admire the exquisite properties of the very waters that drown them. ... Brewer is a singular talent. --Nashville Scene

Gaylord Brewer writes elegiac poems of a man uneasy in an easy world. ... That the lightning might strike close to home or the disaster might be lurking inside is contemplated again and again amidst the gorgeous landscapes of autumn. --Barbara Hamby

It's impossible for Gaylord Brewer to write a dull poem. ... His wry humor is the way he burrows into, through, and out the other side of the most serious issues, which gives these poems the perspective of a Zen monk on martinis.  --William Greenway
