Freewheeling through the night, Weingarten's poems touch, collide with, and finally integrate death, desire, and the past. Boldly ricocheting through place and time, creating chronology by association and rapid scene and image changes, the poems of Infant Bonds of Joy break through the constraints of narrative to the impulse beneath. It is a remarkable collection, a powerful "battering-ram of understanding."

<p>Serving up chills and thrills, this collection of haunting tales offers the intelligence and emotional resonance that only comes from great writing. Whether it's John Updike writing about a shadowy Indian in a coastal New England town or T. Coraghessan Boyle's tale of a vengeful statue of the Virgin Mary, these stories show how delicious it can be to curl up with master storytellers and the things that go bump in the night.</p>

<p>Ghost Wrestling, Roger Weingarten's eighth and most exciting collection to date, further demonstrates his mastery at drawing the trappings of daily life whether rodents in the basement, the Summer Olympics on television, or a fairway sniper into the sphere of mystery and personal revelation. Weingarten has a sly way with language and an unerring sense of how to weave the strands of experience into the fabric of epiphany. This is writing of artful restlessness and profound yet edgy wisdom, telling stories whose endings constantly subvert our comforting expectations writing, said The Nation, that "is unlike anything else in contemporary poetry."</p>
