Reviews
"[A] major figure in contemporary African American letters." -- Henry Louis Gates
"C. S. Giscombe makes evident a genius of attention to all the determinants of any one of us, our particulars, our people. He traces with consummate art the passage of time through his own accumulating presence, his points of origin and return." -- Robert Creeley
"Giscombe's concise poems--which are always essentially unpredictable--have an odd and vivid beauty. They move in intricately woven patterns (like the candid language of risky dreams), from the emotional depths of the most private places to places post-personal yet not quite public. And they make this journey with elegance, eloquence, wit, knife-sharp observations, and tenderness." -- Clarence Major
