Synopsis
Steve Foley writes about parents and young people, both his own children and his students, with "deep emotional awareness" and "tenderness of feeling." Foley's poems also display the sort of wit and wisdom that adds toughness to highly charged emotion and raises his work to the level of truly great poetry. Despite their apparent simplicity, the poems continue to reveal new dimensions with each reading.

Review
The beauty of Steve Foley's poetry is that he gives us a threshold and lets us stand there and watch with nothing except the depth and resonance of the moment. A moment of solitude sprung from the social world he knows so well. His poetry brings us to a deep emotional awareness and a tenderness of feeling, but it does so with intelligence that places fatherhood, motherhood and childhood in the context of American society. At the end of a Steve Foley poem, we stand with him because of his warmth, his knowledge and his skill with words, more aware of the preciousness of life and what it means to be sensitively aware. --Hugh Ogden
