“To imagine what it means to be another human being is an act of love. These are poems written by a great lover of the world. Everything in it that stands alone, unobserved and luminous. Solitary people with their solitary destinies.... If there's a native, archetypal American solitude, Louis Jenkins has given us its flavor.”


Charles Simic, Boston Review



"Louis Jenkins picks up the scraps of anyday's events and lets them fall deep into the Underworld.  You can hear them re-sounding long, long after.  I really do love his poems."


James Hillman



…the true artist pulls aside some comforting, humanly made veil, so that the face of the universe appears for an instant. Artists as distinct as Goya and Basho do that, revealing a face that unsettles us. I honor Louis Jenkins, who is one of the best poets of his generation, for his ability to do that again and again.

Robert Bly
