Synopses & Reviews
The work of Michael Burkard has a rich interior quality different from that of any other voice in American poetry. He captures a sense of the mind revising and revealing itself, altering its perceptions.
Review
Praise for Burkard's first poetry collection,
In a White Light:
"Burkard's poetics will be considered new and strange to many readers, though Stevens, Zufosky, and Ashbery were scouts to this light-laden terrain. [His] book is a blessing."
—James Cervantes
