"Hogan's poems are virtually free of the ego and fake emotion, the
public posturing and self-regard that infect so much recent poetry.
For Hogan to undertake the poem is to undertake the possibility of
radical transformation. The humility and compassion of his poems
warm me when others leave me chilled to the bone. He rewards the
reader with intelligence and warmth and a wide sweep of
understanding." Sam Hamill, American Poetry Review. "This
long-awaited gathering of Michael Hogan's poems contains his most
memorable and disturbing work. Hogan built his reputation among
small presses and chapbook publishers, creating finely crafted
poems full of demonic power and dark beauty. He is a poet who
learned the hard way about the saving power of poetry. His presence
is troubling because he reminds us that poets who write to cut
people with the truth can never go away. Hogan understands what it
takes to make us listen and he has never given up." Ray Gonzalez,
