Review # 1 was written on 2010-05-01 00:00:00 Anthony Merlo This collection reminds me a bit of Seamus Heaney, but a bit more lucid. I ran across this work in a used bookstore in Texas. I opened it up in the middle and began reading, only to find myself razing through each poem right there on the spot. Some of the most clear and humbling collection of poetry I have ever read. This is truly remarkable writing.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-02-12 00:00:00 thomas walker Beautiful. One of my favorite books I've read in the last year. Samaras manages to enter into the mystery of experiences, places, relationships through these poems in a disarming, earthy way. His Orthodox faith informs his writing, but it has an integrated, holistic, humble presence here. Wise and moving. I love these poems.
