Author's Note: One critic has said this about my work: “Presenting human experiences with the strength of a compassionate, yet probing, authorial voice, William Swarts poems ought to appeal to both poetry lovers and to those who usually eschew lyricism. His verses resonate with rich images; his themes are humanly universal. Moreover, the poems are meticulously sculptured by a writer experienced with the tools of pure language and of a keen sense of poetics. I unequivocally recommend this book.” Richard Sweterlitsch, Professor Emeritus of English, University of Vermont.
