"The literary legacy of the Community of Writers spreads far and wide in contemporary American poetry, it makes change, meaningfully, in the lives and careers of writers. "-Evie Shockley "These exhilarating poems are inspired by the beauty of the place and the freedom of being set loose in your own head. Also the freedom of being released from your own head, if out of your head is where you need to go. "-San Diego Tribune
