Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"With a simplicity of phrasing, directness of address, and nimble first-mindedness, the poems in Star in the Eye convey great depth, zest, and mystery. Their brevity is anathema to fragmentation; instead playfully and mordantly, they honor "what will suffice," as Stevens says, with a calligraphic precision and flair. If anyone could cut a diamond with a paintbrush, it would be James Shea - his work is so marvelous; utterly lucent and revivifyingly strange." - Dean Young"
