“He addresses the Self as one addresses the ball in golf: a brief moment of formality and silence, then the wildly clean smack and soar of the heart (Fore!) come full circle!”
—Jack Myers
“‘We rise through our minds to see how we matter,’ writes Peter Sears. In his struggle toward authenticity, his poems make compelling demands—that one enter with him into the terrifying odyssey of the American city animal stupefied by his culture, strangled by the wistful shadow of his boyhood, lit up with the surreal perceptions of a man wishing to abandon everything for wildness, tenderness.”
—Kathleen Fraser
