Poetry. "Curtis Bauer is precise about birds, be they crows,
chimney swifts, sparrows, swallows, starlings, cardinals, doves, or
grackles. Like Robert Frost, he knows the phoebe doesn't weep,
for--like him--he is deeply versed in country things. But Bauer is
wide-ranging and doesn't make a moral distinction between Iowa and
New York, any more than he does between America and Spain, where he
lives part of the year. He is one of the most tender new poets I
know, yet when the subject calls for it, he can be as harsh as
necessary, for he is a keen observer, and he is sane, a sane
realist with a vivid imagination."--Gerald Stern"Velocity, vigor,
heartbreak and vibrancy: you'll find all that and more in THE REAL
CAUSE FOR YOUR ABSENCE. This book is full of astounding surprises.
Sometimes Curtis Bauer plays sentence against line to shake things
up before he sets everything right. Sometimes, with just a word, he
knocks you out."--Camille T. Dungy
