Kicking Sawdust by Paul Hyland
Critics and readers celebrated the power and subtlety of Paul Hyland's earlier books, the inventiveness of his music, the variety of his forms, and above all the integrity of his vision. The title-sequence of this new collection is deceptively light, putting words into the mouths of performers who spend their lives kicking sawdust.
Brilliantly conceived and expressed, though the brilliance is mysterious-- Anne Born * Tears in the Fence *
Scrupulous in angle, sympathy and tone...his poems are unstrained, carefully judged and razory. -- Alan Riach * Lines Review *
