Words About From Rain, Poems 1970 - 2010: 


"I read From Rain from cover to cover. I'm so glad I did—it unfolded like an epic. This is one of the best contemporary books of poetry I have read in a long time. Often, in a collection of poems by one poet, even a fine poet, one encounters ho-hum poems among the jewels. In the case of From Rain, I found each poem to be a jewel. Bruce Guernsey's images are consistently vivid, fresh and surprising."
