What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Only a few poets transcend the history of taste to participate in the history of art—and only in a handful of poems. Salter has been struck by lightning more than once.” —James Longenbach, The New York Times Book Review
“Poems that are deeply human, brilliantly realized, and refreshingly perceptive.” —Julie Hale, BookPage
