Trade Review
"The interplay between words and reality, mortal imagination and the lasting world, shimmers in these poems." -- Robert Pinsky - Washington Post
"[Old Heart] contains the lifeblood of song as it defends the crucial endeavor to give each (re)collected moment its living, breathing name." -- Georgia Review
"Few poets have sounded so often so comfortable at once with the recollections and strong emotions involved in autobiography, and with attention to a beautiful natural world." -- Publishers Weekly
"[Old Heart] addresses, unsentimentally, the odd curtailments of age…a plain-spoken meditation and response that blends seamlessly the physical world and felt emotion." -- Library Journal
