Dear John, Dear Coltrane : Poems (Paperback)

       "Harper's is a poetry of classically unadorned statement, a direct,
        unflinching record of a man alive in his time. When he is at his best,
        in both his public and his private voice, he creates a language humming
        with emotion and ennobled by a deeply felt human dignity."
        -- Virginia Quarterly Review
      ". . . one of the finest poets of our time."
        -- San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle
