Reviews

"These short prose reflections offer a glimpse into the life of one of our most prolific writers, poet, novelist, essayist; also father, husband, grandparent by turns elegiac and humorous." -- Howard Frank Mosher, author of God's Kingdom

"The chapters of this strong and elegant book are actually never longer than two or three pages: big-poem length. Which makes reading it rhythmically satisfying, with its jazz-like riffs, in rich, far from prosaic prose by a man at the top of his game.." -- David Gullette, Ploughshares

"The book is called What's the Story, an essay collection. They are surprising, even sometimes shocking, brief, aching, funny, and nostalgic - for all that is deeply felt, real, awkward, companionable and human." -- Numero Cinq
