These poems, voiced by stones, speaking for the poet and for
humanity, are beautiful and peculiar. Weinraub cracks open craft to
reveal humane interiors. Fixed forms with meter and rhyme, tenderly
chiseled, deftly sculpted, pulse with regret, joy and a hundred
other sentiments. Bright diction and an impressive control of
syntax allows Weinraub to modulate tone and music. Wit and gorgeous
capitulations abound in this book. "Gentlemen prefer blonde
Crystals" gives way to "imperfections are a garden." These poems
"forge a new world out of stone," a landscape populated by jade,
garnet, and onyx with time-rich thoughts, blood-rich emotion. -
EDUARDO C. CORRAL, author of "Slow Lightning, " winner of the Yale
Younger Poets Prize, 2012;
"Lapidary" is an original and brilliant collection of poems that
offers insights into the various states of human nature through the
voices of different stones. This book is a must have, and it will
be avidly read for years to come. - EDWARD ODWITT, writer &
illustrator;
In "Lapidary" - stones, semi-precious, precious - stones talk to
you, skillfully, convincingly and you believe them, you believe
them - THOMAS LUX, acclaimed poet and teacher, the Bourne chair in
poetry at the Georgia Institute of Technology
