I read through these poems with pleasure. They're witty poems, often moving and deeply real, with a clear music of understanding that seems to me quite original. There is never a moment of obscurity. The language seals the deal again and again, as in Picking Berries, where in the final stanza I smiled in agreement, thinking of this collection as a whole, with the poems as blackberries: I wish I had another bowl. Dennis Rush offers a feast here. Enjoy!--Jay Parini
