Ken Waldman, in this new book, takes his readers to the heart of an America that we met long ago through Whitman and Kerouac. It's an America rich with the nuances and details of our everyday lives, and then some, because his life hasn't been like yours and mine. Waldman is a storyteller. Take some time, park yourself in a good spot, and read this beautiful collection. -- M. L. Liebler, author of The Moon, A Box Waldman's poems are rich with lively imagery and characters, and deeply engaging in their immediacy. I love his keen sense of narrative, his use of spoken voice and offbeat detail. He's a music-man in more ways than one. -- Naomi Shihab Nye
