From the Back Cover
-- Ted Hughes
"Daniel Halpern's poems are remarkable for their quiet -- the intimacy of a man talking honestly to himself...His lines break with the gentle snap of a twig, with natural poignancy. His range is not narrow; it achieves width by concentration. The quality of memory that Halpern strives after in poem after poem and which he repeatedly achieves is that nod of agreement which truth gives to experience, whether of praise or of pain."
-- Derek Walcott
"Daniel Halpern has such a strangely disturbing sense of place that somehow becomes internal rather than descriptive, while at the same time physically evocative -- something deeply sad. These poems speak to me in the best, most private way, as I always feel poetry should."
-- Nadine Gordimer
