“The speaker of this collection is someone the reader wants to visit with and learn from. The subtle fusion of tenor and vehicle in his metaphors is a good technique for a fine Catholic poet whose readers need not be Catholic, but only seekers after the metaphysical, trying to find a refreshed vision. On one level these are simply poems about innocence and grace, and how these factors serve as a compass for living a good life in a society where they are underrated and ignored. This collection is satisfying to mind, heart, and spirit. The reader will return to it for refreshment and inspiration.”

“David Craig is a rare breed of religious poet, a contemporary metaphysical who like Donne or Hopkins welds fact to faith, and like no one else shows us the glimmers in the particulars of surfaces . . . This poetry is transformative; it floods the reader with the richness of the real . . . I think David Craig really is the best religious poet writing today.”
