Reviews

"It is rare to see a poet work so hard in the physical world-serious farm labor-and still catch a fleeting glimpse of the spirit. Kevin Goodan does this convincingly because his language is so precise and his mind knows when to jump and when to stand still. This is a remarkable book."-James Tate
