Young writes with a unique combination of wisdom and terror, engendering a kind of sad calm, a hard-earned acceptance of lifeâÇÖs difficulty and openness to its beauty.'- Publishers Weekly'ThereâÇÖs glow, wonder, in all his writing, even the poems of terrible pain, where wonder bathes the strangeness of the circumstances themselves, bathes the strength of spirit that allows those circumstances to be survived. . . HeâÇÖs become one of our most piercing, luminous prose poets.'- Richard Silberg, Poetry Flash
