...a remarkable debut, one that affords a rare and exhilarating pleasure: the sense of being at the start of something marvelous. Boston Review ""A superb and vigorous imagination, a poetic talent of rare and beautiful proportions, whose work is surely destined to be widely and enthusiastically noticed and applauded. This is the start of a brilliant career."" Anthony Hecht ""Kaminsky is more than a promising young poet; he is a poet of promise fulfilled. I am in awe of his gifts."" Carolyn Forchรฉ ""Passionate, daring to laugh and weep, direct yet unexpected, Ilya Kaminsky's poetry has a glorious tilt and scope."" Robert Pinsky --Review
