From the Back Cover

"I'm astonished that there are so many poems about stuttering, or aphasia, or Alzheimers disease, or tinnitus,or what it feels like to be deaf. It proves that poetry is not merely elegant discourse, but gravitates to the heart of human experience, no matter how unique. WHen I was a child, stuttering limited me. It provided me with a refuge. It spared me from the battle for clarity. Poetry is the language of the essential words. It never grows old."
--James Earl Jones
