"Jean-Paul Pecqueur is a poet who has, in truth, in actual landscapes and stunningly immediate circumstances, wrestled with an angel. And the fact that his very particular, very contemporary angel wears the shape of a bird's last breath and the elusive substance of human justice, troubles and delights me. These are poems of harrowing moment."--Donald Revell

"Sardonic and humorous, cynical and complex, these metaphysical musings celebrate the nameless dread, the logic of the illogical. They address big ideas: life, death, heaven, shoe shopping. They twist and loop, follow to unexpected conclusions...."--Library Journal

"The voice in these poems is real and familiar but has rarely been captured in poetry. Read carefully and follow."--American Poet

"Pecqueur's brand of nonchalant sarcasm is a delight."--The Great American Pin-Up
