"I've always believed sorrow to be a necessary ingredient in great poetry. I don't mean the sorrowing of a single poem, but a sorrow buried in the life of the poet, perhaps the sorrow of childhood. For sorrow desires neither songs of complaint nor the blue dirges of grievance, but joyous paeans and songs of praise. That is what I find in the marvelous, triumphant, and grounded poetry of Harvey Lillywhite, who shouts and cries his lucid love for this broken, yet shining world. This is the kind of book one waits a lifetime for, a kind of poetry that feels like redemption." Richard Jones, author of Stranger on Earth
