Review:

“I’ve loved Stanley's poems since I first encountered a poem of his in Poetry magazine in John Berryman’s office when I was nineteen. Again and again, coming upon a poem of Stanley Moss’s, I have had the feeling of being taken by surprise. Not simply by the eloquence or the direct authenticity of the language, for I had come to expect those in his poems. The surprise arose from the nature of his poetry itself, and from the mystery that his poems confront and embody, which makes them both intense and memorable.”—W.S. Merwin

“Magisterial . . . this book is magnificent. I’ve read it several times with greater and greater pleasure. Its verbal generosity and bravura, its humanity, the quality and quantity of information which it integrates into poetry of the highest order make it a continuing delight.”—Marilyn Hacker

“Open Stanley Moss's book anywhere and you come shockingly upon both wisdom and beauty. The pace, the strategy, the wit, the knowledge, are astonishing. He has been hiding for decades now, in full sight.”—Gerald Stern

“The poetry of the ages is an argument with God, so it is said; but not many poets attempt it today. Stanley Moss does. In many voices, in lines rugged yet eloquent, in different places and with various learnings, he sings us songs of his unbelievable belief, his unlovable love songs of anguish, songs any of us would sing if we could. I find them disconcerting and extraordinarily moving.”—Hayden Carruth
