The London Times Literary Supplement described Robert Siegel s poetry as unpretentious versatility, like returning to the mainland after a tour of the islands. In this collection of poems, Siegel brings his remarkable range and technical mastery to bear on the mysteries of creation—wolves, slugs, moles, fireworks, mowing – all hauntingly interwoven with mythical themes.

Of Robert Siegel s talents there can be no doubt. Brilliant is a term too casually applied today, and it does not begin to define the remarkable range of subjects delineated and the technical mastery demonstrated…. His poems are a power. -Joseph Parisi, in Poetry
