Review Quotes
"Humane, deep, joyful, feral, challenging, beautiful, and always always always welcome. V. B. Price is a better poet than we deserve."
-Daniel Abraham, co-author of The Expanse series
"In these poems we see a man who decides to open his arms and embrace the world for its goodness, its badness, its sorrow and joy. Nothing is immune from his celebrating life in its jagged edges, round soft curves. He doesn't mealy mouth, doesn't primly curtsy; no, these poems remind me, in their gusto and awe, of my tío who used to tell stories sitting on his porch and during the telling slap his knee with emphasis for how much pleasure he got from the story-well, these poems have many knee slaps-enjoy, amigos y amigas, all of you who love poetry, these Christmas cookies and sopapillas come early." -Jimmy Santiago Baca, author of When I Walk Through That Door, I Am
"Innocence Regained is an extraordinary collection. His magical ability to instill authentic childhood wonder with wicked humor and mature wisdom makes this book unique. And this is exactly what we need right now, as life careens about us, misery and violence on every horizon. I am stunned and often moved to a release of tears by the depth of this poet's humanity and the brilliance of his craft." -Margaret Randall, author of Time's Language: Selected Poems
