Reviews"By their very nature, these verses outlast and transcend the political vicissitudes of both the poet and the state that engendered them. This is likely to be Sosa's definitive collection in English for some time to come." --Lawrence Olszewski, Library Journal, "Sosa's voice...is never ornate or emotionally explosive; it is controlled, reflective, and measured. Nevertheless, it is intensely emotional and pregnant with feeling, a feeling that is seductive and operates in the manner of an undertow."-- San Francisco Chronicle, "Sosa's voice...is never ornate or emotionally explosive; it is controlled, reflective, and measured. Nevertheless, it is intensely emotional and pregnant with feeling, a feeling that is seductive and operates in the manner of an undertow."- San Francisco Chronicle, "The elegiac and erotic lyrics of Roberto Sosa present a voice as personal, as elegant and as timeless as those of the great poets of the T'ang dynasty or the Greek Anthology . Sosa joins passion and humility, ecstasy and grief, clarity and wisdom, to make poems as simple, lucid, and incandescent as anyone writing today." -- Sam Hamill
