By Barry Sheinkopf

"That poet is a rarity indeed who may truly be called wise.Barry Sheinkopf is one of this select company. Over the course ofthe past four decades, his voice has consistently sounded clearlyand rung true, reminding us of the blessing it is simply to be presentin our lives, brief and flawed as they are. His new work expandsand deepens the distinctive vision of Collected Poems.Sheinkopf's generosity of spirit, attention to detail, and alwaysprecise language delight throughout this collection. What ThereWas lays bare what there is, right before us--chronicling ourfoibles, and our triumphs, with genuine compassion and refreshingcandor."--Robert Lavett Smith, author ofSmoke in Cold Weather and The Widower Considers Candles
