Review Quotes: "These elegiac and erotic lyrics present a voice as personal, as elegant, and as timeless as the great poets of the T'ang dynasty or the Greek Anthology. Roberto Sosa joins passion and humility, ecstasy and grief, clarity and wisdom, to make poems as lucid and incandescent as anyone writing today." --Sam Hamill
