Indie Bound Poetry Top Ten

Publishing Triangle Award Winner

Minnesota Book Award Finalist

ForeWord:
“[Hewett] investigates the suburbs from a more critical angle: manicured lawns, cold secretive families wanting nothing outside the American dream, and young people learning to appreciate their own identities outside conformity and expectations.”

Corresponder:
“Hewett reaches into the desire to be understood, the need for love, the pain and humor of living, and explores subtle themes that are not dependent on a person's lifestyle but true to everyone.“

Bruce Bond:
“What a luminous and alluring book, artful in the best sense of never advertising its art, never straining for effect, ever surprising with its wit and imaginative resourcefulness, its unpretentious yet authoritative voice, its heartbreaking authenticity, its intelligence, its eye, its lust, its charm. These are poems written by a large sensibility, both contemporary and historically aware, disciplined and supple, unsentimental and affectionate, verbally playful and soulfully engaged.”

Alfred Corn:
“If Greg Hewett's poems startle us with their unexpected turns and sudden opening onto depths, the credit must go to his special courage in confronting the fact of death and still pursuing, undaunted, his finely calibrated probings of experience. Sharp, original phrasing wryly fends off routine sentimentality and the posture of victimization. With this book he achieves his full stature as a poet.”

Jerry Bilek, St. Olaf College Bookstore, Northfield, MN:
“This is quite a collection of poems that speak for a generation as they pine for happiness. Greg Hewett has a great voice.”
