"Armored Hearts" offers the power of idiomatic narrative at its
naked best. David Bottoms joins a generous collection of new poems
with those selected from four previous volumes published to
critical and popular acclaim, locating a mythic dimension within
common experience. He presents dramatic stories in rich language
falling in natural and captivating cadences until we are caught up
in his world, forced finally to look into our own innermost nature.
Naming Bottoms the winner of the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy
of American Poets in 1979, Robert Penn Warren noted, "In his vision
the actual world is not transformed, but illumnated." Bottoms
brings us into the terrain of ruin and hope and beauty, reminding
us again and again that it is our own temporal reality, not the
real world, that is fragile.
