"Jim Daniels' work is strong, direct, with a contemporary validity."--Gwendolyn Brooks
"These poems are both testimony and the articulate gift of its human emotion: that one lives in a world that can feel, and insists on it. . . .Jim Daniels is a poet of unique commitment and ability. He makes poetry and act of deep caring and recognition."--Robert Creeley
"Daniels' poems have exactly what one looks for in a first book--a strong, sure new voice, determinedly his own--as if he had no choice--heartfelt, speaking as certain poets seem able to, for those who are too often, not mute, but inarticulate. The book reads with the power and coherence of a novel, if novels could be written at the pitch of continuous small explosions of emotion."--Stuart Dybek
"These poems are a refreshment. They hiss and steam with the street's vibrant hardness, the effort to look around the corner, pain in the eyes after a long day's work."--Carolyn Forché
"This is gritty writing. It needs to be read again and again to let your preconceived notions of America change beneath the abrasion of these poems, that is, if you are inclined to seek the truth: Detroit at work in the car factories, and out of work, and at leisure an play and in self contemplation: grease, dirt, and self disgust, from which we get our handsome dashing cars. What could be more characteristic of American life that this irony. The book says it all."--David Ignatow
"Jim Daniels is very good, whether he is shoplifting, scraping up dead carrots, or making love to a machine. There is subtle art in his simple poems. He keeps the technique, and much of the suffering, to himself. It is a joy reading him."--Gerald Stern
"Jim Daniels' tough Motown narratives are stark urban creations. He has an infallible ear for the words that come from our stricken industrial cities."--Paul Zimmer
