Poetry. "It makes sense that one of the best poets ever to come out of Los Angeles would be a fine character actor like Harry Northup. Northup is the poet laureate of east Hollywood - of streets like Normandie and Mariposa and Fountain. His poems are lit by flourescent street lamps and TV screens glowing from apartment-house windows. I don't care what anybody says about Charles Bukowski. Quiet, clear-eyed, Northup is like a spy, sitting in the back of the No. 1 bus, writing it all down" - Lewis MacAdams, L.A. Weekly. "[I]t's my life to be a poetry bookworm, a movie nut, a tv addict/ it's my life to have worked as an actor in some good films/ it's my life to say it's rare and honorable even though I have/ not made a lot of money: I have made a living as an actor for/ 25 years and this emptiness is that I have not worked in a movie/ for 10 months/ it's my life to love my wife, my son, poetry and movies" - from "it's my life then."

Poetry. "'All our souls are simply waiting / to be named,' Harry Northup reminds us in this brilliant and heartbreakingly lovely collection. And he does just that in poem after marvelous poem. Beautifully written, stunningly structured (his incantation is matchless), and brimming with compassion and gratitude, these poems are filled with trees and roses, observation and walking, and above all, love for his wife and the cherished details of their life together. This radiant, celebratory book, filled with wonder and awe, is a love poem to the world."--Alison Townsend "With this new book, LOVE POEM TO MPTF, I see poetry that everyone can find life sustaining. There is more wisdom in the lines of the poems in this book than in any book of poems I can think of, unless you consider Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. It will sit on a shelf beside the volumes of holy insight and wisdom I find essential."--Michael Lally
