“Haan writes free verse, blank verse, but is also a playful rhymester, and I frequently found myself chuckling as I read his rhyming poems. Rhymed poems are a rare commodity in contemporary poetry so it is a treat to encounter Haan’s. . . . Good poems can make us gasp, make us ‘see feelingly,’ touch something deep inside us. Ray Haan has poems here that can do that to you.”
