 “Make no mistake about it: Burt Kimmelman appears here — & not for the first time — as a successor to the lineage of William Carlos Williams & George Oppen (to name but two), no less so for being a master of that lineage worn proudly. The sense of number in his writing — particle by particle & breath by breath — & the attention that he gives to other particulars
— the littlest words & the small moments through which we live — are of a piece. In this there is nothing minor or modest, although it might appear to be just that, but a strict & powerful accounting, leaving me — for one — filled with admiration & hooked on every word.” --Jerome Rothenberg

 Praise for Kimmelman’s earlier books:

“[The poems’] consistent occasions reinforce each other. We find the arts restate the questions we have been asking and the ways they clean and stretch our questions reward us more than answers would.” --William Bronk

“As quiet an experience as anyone could wish for.” --Cid Corman

“This is a rare evocation of a luminous place indeed — the wonder of this world in itself.” --Robert Creeley

“. . . artful, fastidious, learned . . . I am delighted by so much feeling for style.” —Alfred Kazin
