Trade Review
"In book after book, Nathaniel Tarn has traced the feelings, thoughts, and rituals that establish what and where we think we are." -- Joseph Donahue - First Intensity
"Tarn’s lessons [are] delivered as though by the Ancient Mariner. He treats poetry as the apposite medium for dealing with such large concerns as ecology, cosmology, war, memory, and apocalypse... An original." -- Hudson Review
"For Tarn, human truth is an inseparable union of physicality and spirituality, the sexual wisdom of the body uniting with and being penetrated by the psychological gifts of the shaman and the scientist, the poet and the priest." -- Laverne Frith - New York Journal of Books
"While poetry is narrowing its concerns, Tarn risks a scale epic enough to contain mountains and oceans. He keeps his lines of communication open to more than one life form; with a prophetic sureness of direction." -- Geoffrey O’Brien - Village Voice
