Review Quotes

"Hauge's voice is sage and clever, and many of his shorter verses recall the wit of the makers of classical epigrams, as well as, more obviously, the tone and stance of traditional Chinese poetry. One is also put in mind of Robert Frost at his most attractive and laconic. Still, Hauge's tenor is distinct; it communicates immediately through the simple surface of his poems." -Independent Publisher
