Description
PRAISE FOR T. R. HUMMER "Startling and profoundly moving, Hummer's poems cast light continually upon one another as also upon other poets, other lives, other times, in a poetry of exalted sentiment and extraordinary craftsmanship."-Prairie Schooner "Hummer crafts intelligent, elegant poems directed by a penetrating gaze into contemporary anxieties and struggles, treating them with a scientist's eye for minutiae and a philosopher's tone. . . . [He] treats the reader to merciless portraits, but in return he reveals striking, painfully honest visions."-Rain Taxi Review of Books "T. R. Hummer is an inherently Heraclitan poet. You can't step into the same book twice. . . . From the formal aptitude of his first mature volume, The Angelic Orders (1982), to the bombastic stride of Walt Whitman in Hell (1996), Hummer revels in self-change."-Kenyon Review
