Jim Daniels never disappoints as a poet and this latest book is no exception. For years I have followed (and collected) everything of Mr. Daniels I could get my hands on . . . to say he is a blue collar poet or a poet of the people is an oversimplification of this poet's real gifts . . . he writes poems that are true and generous, and when he is on a roll, I would dare say he writes breath-taking poems. The kind of poetry that tends to resonate long after you finish reading it . . .Jim Daniels is the real deal and I for one can't get enough of his voice, his preoccupations with being a family man, a man trying to fit into the world with great compassion, dignity, and verve. If you are new to Jim Daniels work, this is as good an introduction as you can have. I recommend also his Selected poems!
