Stubborn

About the Book

Selected by Dave Smith as one of the five volumes published in 1990 in the National Poetry Series

"I could not leave this book aside nor, among so many worthy others, could I choose another. It interested me, crooned to me, and in the end I loved it. I hope he writes many more. Read it. You will see why." — Dave Smith

"A poet whose own craft is beyond dispute and whose gifted heart has something to tell us about our ordinary selves we had almost despaired of hearing again in the American tongue." —John D. Bernard, Poet Lore
