"Anthony Ant nio's Passage of Time has selected poems of longing and hope. It contains bracing poetry that offers a host of pleasures and rich and briny atmospheres filled with burr and bristle for the ear and thoughts. The poems show a passion for love and a restless eye for the exact and scary details of one of the most essential voices in contemporary poetry. They reveal a man haunted and haunting, beautiful and brutal, ancient and immediate-capable of tricking ghosts from the most innocuous and familiar shadows. Behind each word and intricate sentence, there is a hidden truth, a mystically charged world, a modern life of forked storms, of hard, clear music. The muscularity and toughness of the verses is counterpointed everywhere by a deep tenderness and longing. The poems are increasingly compelling and vast in their embrace, their dark and lustrous landscapes fully inhabited, fully haunted by the ghosts of present and past."
