Recognition

“Peter Sears shapes his marvelous poems out of the American vernacular, and can give us the willies as he juxtaposes a quiet natural image against the jazz of colloquial speech. The voices–stubborn, lyrical, self-doubting, brilliantly intuitive–allow us to listen in on the spirit struggling both to accept and to escape the frail, disappearing cage of the body.”–Maura Stanton, author of Immortal Sofa and Life Among the Trolls

“An heir to Frank O’Hara and Kenneth Koch, Peter Sears offers the world these breezy, sometimes manic poems that veer off in unexpected directions, bringing us a sensibility at once comic and disarmingly revealing.”–Dorianne Laux, author of Only As the Day Is Long: New and Selected Poems
