Anthony Hecht

Hirsch remains a poet of celebration, but the sorrows of the world are here too, in equal measure. The language is, throughout, simple, sensuous, and direct. We can be grateful for this book and this poet.

Jay Parini

I have known the poetry of Edward Hirsch for some time, and have greatly admired it. But I even more greatly admire his Wild Gratitudeas a general collection, and I am convinced that the best poems here are unsurpassed in our time.
