"Finding the Edge appeals with a wry, powerful combination of
narrative and lyrical poems. The narratives are small novels,
chiseled studies of human folly and vulnerability: You won't soon
forget the reckless, highway-obsessed Wally or the hapless woman in
"Copperhead." In his lyrical mode, Ortolani is beautifully
expansive ("In the surrounding air, /the night spreads from my
fingertips..."). Cinematic images abound to present a wondrous but
never-sentimentalized world of nature. After reading Ortolani,
you'll not look at coyotes, back roads, or your lover's face in the
old, expected ways again." --Jo McDougall
