Review Quotes

"Mules of Love holds a special place on my bookshelf... It is a book I return to regularly when I need to be calmed or soothed because it is an openhearted volume of confessional, intimate work that continues to reward my effort. The more the poems reveal, the more endearing they become, and the more I read them, the richer they get." -Isaiah Vianese, Rattle
