Poetry. "I've always loved Bill Evans' poems and the work in Modern
Adventures is both timeless and hilarious. The loving regard for
all of our weakness and the muscular rhythms of these poems knock
me out every time. Ever hip, ever hopeful, Bill Evans is the poet
we've been waiting for."--David St. John"Here's a nice thing. Bill
Evans walked into the dark night of the soul for you, caught a wave
there and emerged with a poetic voice that is a present for anyone
who would like to know what it is like to be alive. Or maybe he was
locked in a Mexican standoff with desire and neither one budged, so
they just started singing. Part teen idol, part pirate, part
philosopher, as if Rumi were a carnival barker whose promises
turned out to be true. Adjectives? Seductive, moving, funny,
transgressive, wonder-full and achingly human come to mind. Bill's
poetry is not just craft; it is a human voice that knows things,
and I want to hear them."--Peter Catapano"These are the poems of an
urban man and a little sad a touch bitter but it's raining out
tonight and from where I am I notice Bill often likes to break into
a little dance. I want to say that these are moral poems because in
the hands of Bill Evans morality means feeling and whether he's
listing the parts of a a 'little pilgrim' ('we're so/ proud of
you') or snapping a joke what chiefly is holding his poetic
together is heart which makes his work dangerous and rare in this
disparate and deeply informed moment in time. We need his poems
because he feels and so I kept reading and wanting more. These are
the heartbeats of an ancient man looking at history from left to
right and now staring us right in the eye. We are not
alone."--Eileen Myles
