Description: "David Lampe, born and bred on the prairies, home-dweller in a rust belt border town, is a people's poet, readily understood, a tribune of our common humanity, a teller of truths close to the bone that help heal even as they hurt."--
Review Quotes: "A Lampe poem, down through its entire substance, sings a specific fact of person and place, which at the same time is an ars poetica, which at the same time is a vision of the unseen in the seen, a vision which Lampe distinguishes from yet joins with the vision of Yeats." --A.F. Moritz
