Praise for Previous Books by Philip Dacey: Lovers of poetry, of fine turns of language, of amazing knots tied and untied, will appreciate Dacey's poems. Their strength is in the voice, the casual, comfortable speaker, whether Whitman, Hopkins, Gauguin, or the men and women of middle America. The authenticity, the humor, the intelligence-in verse, free or chained-you can't ask for more. -Louis McKee When he is serious, Philip Dacey isn't daunting, and when he is humorous he isn't silly, rather bringing to his work a mixture of learning and a deft touch with language. These poems are, in a word, suave. -David Chorlton Philip Dacey continues to do what he's done for years: keep kicking what passes for contemporary American poetry in the ass by way of reminding it of its wondrous possibilities, if, as my grandmother used to say, we would care to be possessed of all our faculties when we write it. -Bruce Cutler 3
