Críticas

"Hazo speaks in these poems with impressive clarity, honesty, intelligence and courage. By turns philosophical and political, Hazo does not suffer fools gladly... Here is a poet who understands not only language, but silence. We would do well to listen to thewords and silences of Samuel Hazo."-Martin Espada, award-winning poet and author of Vivas to Those Who Have Failed: Poems. "These poems are engaging, personally warm, and stylistically poised, cultured and full of concern for family and friends. The candid voice of a man preoccupied with mortality and delighted with the details of a life among those he loves is an exemplary pleasure."-Brooks Haxton, author of They Lift Their Wings to Cry Praise for Like a Man Gone Mad. "This is poetry of maturity, of wisdom... A beautiful book-distilled from years and years of living and writing."-Adam Zagajewski, author of Without End: New and Selected Poems. "Hazo's poems advance with wit, irony, and insightful commentaryon many subjects, aphoristic thinking a key trait of his signature."-The Hudson Review.

Reseña del editor

For over fifty years, Hazo's poetry has meditated on themes of mortality and love, passion and art, and courage and grace in a style that is unmistakably his own. In this new collection, he offers his most candid reflections on the passage of time and the tenderness of the present moment. By turns convivial and introspective, these poems explore the complex synchronicity between life and art, and the connections between the personal and the political. With sharp clarity and deep emotion, Hazo continues his pursuitof wisdom and discovery through the act of expression.
