Michael Heller said of this book "Lawrence Fixel was one of our most beautiful and original writers...In a world of dogmas, false certainties and oppressive realities, he was an angel of Evanescence itself...". Cole Swensen said "... a celebration in itself--of the remarkable career of a writer central to the vibrant literary culture of the post-WW2 Bay Area...This volume supplies an essential link in the history of twentieth-century American poetry--and offers hundreds of pages of deeply moving, unforgettable writing."
