Praise for Michael Coffey
“I’ve lived in New York, and I’ve lived in the Adirondacks, and so can say that Michael Coffey understands both these marvels in some deep way. Understands them so well he can distill their essence, drip their meaning out like water through a percolator, each drop full of bitter flavor. With this book he becomes a poet laureate of the Empire State, and of a much wider and more unbounded realm as well.”—Bill McKibben
“Luminous is one of those words applied too easily to art and to poetry. It applies here…Coffey has found a fresh way to look at the world in which we live. He can grab the heart. He can make you want to live forever.”—Pete Hamill
