Gallagher ." . . superbly written, beautifully controlled, and yet
continually freshened by a kind and fresh imagination. -Robert Bly
." . . such a beauty, so moving, so beautifully made that I have to
tell you that it is one of the finest lyrics in the language."
-William Carlos Williams "These poems have a lovely, understated
directness and restraint." -Amy Glynn Greacen "Daniel J. Langton's
poems are a pleasure to read." -Paul Muldoon, poetry editor The New
Yorker "The poems I have known before are as fresh as ever. The new
ones shimmer." -Pamela Skewes-Cox "Only an Andrew Wyeth snowscape

As he tells the story, "When I was just starting out, I went to a
reading by William Carlos Williams. Afterward I showed him a poem
of mine, and he told me, I don't care what you're doing, quit your
job, and write nothing but poetry. And that's what happened."
