Common Grace

“Wry, tender, musical and unsentimental… . In these poems, the visible world radiates meaning, memory becomes palpable, and loss is acknowledged.”
—Robert Pinsky, 3-time United States Poet Laureate

“Common Grace is an uncommon book, elegant, at times tough-minded, also moving.”
—Ha Jin, National Book Award–winning author of Waiting

“Pays fluent loving attention to life and art—and their rewards glow!”
—Gail Mazur, author of Land’s End: New and Selected Poems

“Here is a poet of clear-eyed originality, big-hearted and wise—and a book to read again and again.”
—Matthew Thorburn, author of The Grace of Distance

“Announces Caycedo-Kimura as an important new voice.”
—Jennifer Franklin, author of No Small Gift
