Review Quotes

With this debut collection, Jesse Butler is joining the growing group of Canadian poets who are taking poetry away from the academy and returning it to a broader audience of poetry lovers. Butler's poems are thoughtful, well-crafted, and a pleasure to read.

A. M. Juster, author of Wonder & Wrath

This is a very fine book. Jesse Butler has put his mastery of traditional poetic form to good use in these varied reflections on faith, personal tragedy, encounters with nature, life in the modern Canadian suburbs and many other things. These poems reveal a mind expansively curious about the world and deeply attentive to it.

Burl Horniachek, editor of To Heaven's Rim: The Kingdom Poets Book of World Christian Poetry

It's not so often that a debut collection of poetry reveals a care for poetic forms, a clarity in book structure, and a serious grappling with large ideas. Jesse Keith Butler's ambitious The Living Law reaches for the large: a world that lacks its Blake to etch fire in the mind; makeshift shelters in a modern landscape stripped of spirit and transcendence; the pulse of life below the world's veneer; the living law as gateway onto a wide, windswept expanse. (And don't miss the hermit's donkeys!)

Marly Youmans, author of Seren of the Wildwood
