"Edward Hirschs gifts include an emotional richness coupled with a precise sense of language and metaphor, which makes his best poems wonderful to read." —Stephen Dobyns, New York Times Book Review "Hirsch possesses an uncanny vividness of memory springing, it seems, from an infinite fund of affection and sadness...There is a wonderful simplicity and clarity in the best of these poems." —Liz Rosenberg, Philadelphia Inquirer Straightforward and precise, these poems...beckon the reader with their immediacy...With humility and passion, Hirsch illuminates the contradictory resilience and weakness of the human spirit." —Publishers Weekly
