Reviews

"Eamon Grennan's poems are like . . . verbal equivalents of seventeenth-century Dutch paintings. How luminously they capture the brimming fullness of daily life, how scrupulously they come to terms with the complex reality of the limited, given world, how radiantly they clarify 'the daily / ineluctable clutter of our lives.' These poems shine and matter." --EDWARD HIRSCH on Eamon Grennan
