Indebted to the great American tradition of Stevens and Ashbery, Gary Keenan's profound and necessary poems are meditations on 'the solace of uncertainty' and 'the work of being born' Out of 'the slow storm' of existence as 'tulips dry into paper flames,' they start in pain and end in revelation.' Read them. -- L. S. Asekoff
