“It is a deep new pleasure to come on a poet with the imaginative boldness of Jim Barnes. In addition to his skill, and what might be called a kind of forthright mysticism, Barnes has an almost uncanny ability to pick not only workable subjects for poems but subjects that, but for him, would not have been subjects at all; no one else would have seen them. I hope he writes as many poems as Southey; I shall read them all.”
—James Dickey
“It is unlikely that there is a more cosmopolitan poet at work today than Jim Barnes. . . . Jim Barnes has a distinguished record of publication, including important translations as well as his own works. . . .A rich collection.”
—Pleiades
“Barnes explores the interplay between the poet’s own personal vision of shape and colour and his attempts to relate what is perceived to the discerning eye perceiving it. . . . . Barnes is especially good at charting small human activities.”
