"There isn't a flaw or misstep or a lack of humility on a single page. While this is one of the many services this poet has performed on behalf of poetry, it would be enough on its own to ensure him a place among the writers we will remember. I invite you to turn to just one page, to any page, and to let what's there wash over you with its beauty, its clarity, its precision, and its delicately balanced emotional weight."
