"Veinberg gives himself over to his subjects completely. His voice is at once replete with experiential detail and with imaginative and brilliant image making. Every Veinberg poem has a forceful rhythm, a syntax that sings just above the edge of the vernacular. His cast of characters populate the poor side of town and he is their voice, their witness--a larger conscience for us all. Few poets have his grit, empathy, invention, and original vision."--Christopher Buckley
