Review
"The consistently high quality of his work, his prodigious output and the ceaseless ambition of his poems has made Christopher Buckley a poet who deserves the attention of any reader interested in the poetry of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century."--Al Maginnes, Tar River Poetry
"I don't think I know of another poet who has such vertical range and depth; Buckley manages to have one foot in the physical muck and tenderness of the world and the other foot planted among the stars and galaxies of the universe. What I also like is his formal restlessness, the different ways he uses to reach his subjects." --Peter Everwine
