"John Koethe's "The Constructor" is a scrupulous, elegant account
of the meditative intellect as an instrument continually
registering the passage of time. Exquisitely modulated and brutally
honest, these poems would be harrowing were they not so seductively
beautiful. No one writing in this country today sees as deeply as
Koethe into the tears that lie at the heart of things, and no
contemporary investigation of the life of the mind may be called
complete that does not accommodate the lush intricacy of his
terrifying recognitions."
-- George Bradley
"I prize John Koethe's intimate expanses and unsettling
reveries, his tender contemplations and odd mental landscapes. He
is an heir to Wallace Stevens and John Ashbery and, like them, he
gives us the sensation of thinking itself, of a certain fleeting,
daily, solitary consciousness rescued from oblivion and held
aloft."
-- Edward Hirsch
