Product Description
Review
"Sky is Christopher Buckley's thirteenth collection of poetry and possibly his best... Here we have a wide-ranging poet... Buckley's craft has never been better, especially in the astonishingly fresh images and tropes we encounter on every page... Sky is an earnest and honest book, full of poetic discovery in an unpretentious and authentic voice."--World Literature Today
Review
"Sky is a gorgeous meditation on the Californian landscape and a guiltless ambivalence regarding a residual faith in the metaphysics of religion ... Buckley is our own sweet cynic, practicing, in vernacular disguises, the golden style of vision and language recommended by Virgil, the acid doubt of Donne and Alan Dugan. Reading his beautiful poems, I feel brotherhood, sustenance, and the grace of a not quite Godless song." (Garret Hongo )

America's best contemporary poet -- and one for the ages, Jan 27 2008
By Terri L. Likens "Terri Likens" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sky (Paperback)
I have been reading Christopher's Buckley's work since I first came across his beautiful "Sycamore Canyon Nocturne" a number of years ago. His work often takes my breath away.
Buckley is soul-searching and spiritual; he also is very much in touch with the natural world. If anyone can make the ethereal tangible, it would be him.
I come back to his poetry again and again.
Listmania!
