From the Inside Flap

"Deese's well-titled book is the work of an athletic, adaptable mind and an enterprising, distinctive listener."

- Robert Pinsky

"Surf Music is a cascade of observation and pleasure in the witnessing, offering us pleasure in these adept short-line free verse poems."

- David Ferry

"Wade into Surf Music. You'll relish every incoming wave - from choppy epigrams that bite and tickle to dazzling breakers that slap and console. Like the surf, Deese's poems roil with life and speak in a mesmerizing voice."
