Praise for the work of William Bronk:“A work that demands to be read.” --Saturday Review • “Bronk is an acquired taste. I recommend you acquire it.” --Library Journal • “A brilliant poetry.” —George Oppen • “One of our finest . . . poets.” --The
New York Times Book Review
• “A poet of great distinction.” --Small Press Review • “He is brilliant.” --Southwest Review •
“Arguably the most metaphysical poet of his generation.” — Hungry Mind Review • “One of our most intimate, haunting, and important poets.” — Dictionary of Literary Biography • “His rare gift is the ability to float difficult truths on fleeting snatches of spoken breath.” --Village Voice Literary Supplement

Winner of the American Book Award in 1982 for Life Supports, his collected early poetry, William Bronk (1918-1999) is widely celebrated as one of the most accomplished poets of his generation. The recipient of the Lannan Literary Award for poetry in 1991, Bronk lived most of his life in Hudson Falls, New York, in a substantial Victorian home that became a mecca for American poets and artists.

David Clippinger is the author of The Mind's Landscape: William Bronk And Twentieth-century American Poetry and the editor of The Body of This Life: Reading William
Bronk
