"This poet has a mature voice, at once historical, compassionate, tender, and visionary. These are authentic American poems that ache lovingly across several generations."  - Adrian Louis, 2011 Liam Rector First Book Prize for Poetry, author of Shedding Skins, Logorrhea, and Archeology  "These candid, sensitive, affecting poems follow, like gravity's rainbow, the arc of a long life, one that becomes a lived microcosm of the American history in those years. With a fine ear for the music that releases felt meaning in language, an attentive eye for the resonant detail, Greg McBride's poems, like the laps swum in the poem of that name, take us with him 'here to elsewhere, / content in going, then coming, / the well-shaped strokes, the honest work . . . .'" -Eleanor Wilner, author of Tourist in Hell, The Girl with Bees in Her Hair, and Otherwise  "When so many poets elevate mood over matter and allow consciousness to filter out the world, it is a surprise and a pleasure to read a book open to the full range of human experience--historical and familial, fleeting and abiding, from the horrors and banalities of war to the strains and satisfactions of domestic life..." - John Koethe, author of Falling Water, Domes, and North Point North: New and Selected
