Scaring Up the Morning

Bruce McEver's words move us to the silence behind them, as the world
itself is merely the image of its larger purpose. His poems impress with the
sincerity that comes from immeasurable loss and tender regard.
-J. D. McClatchy

Bruce McEver writes poems with his head and heart but also with his ear, which
is keenly attuned to the soundscape of simple English. In his newest poems, the clear observations of a world traveler are delivered with musical balance and a quiet authority.
-Billy Collins
