"Striking . . . chilling. . . . [Rozewicz’s work] embodies that
particular anxiety and familiar sense of diminishment we still
associate with being ‘modern.’"
*The Nation*
"Rozewicz is that rare character—a skeptic as full of passion as of
intelligence, of warmth as wariness."
*judges’ citation, Griffin Poetry Prize*
"Instead of answers, the poet offers only an examination. Like it
or not, he says, this is all we have: a fragment, a glimpse, a
rustle."
*New Republic*
