“James Applewhite has individuated a logical and meditative
voice all his own. I cannot think of more than a few living
American poets who fuse so remarkably intellect and
emotion.”—Harold Bloom “James Applewhite and Seamus Heaney are the same kind of
talents and Applewhite’s Selected Poems suggests
accomplishment worthy of comparison. It is rugged and
refined, classical in decorum and local in idiom, deep in
wisdom and clear as water in freshness. It is a compact,
luminous etching of a singular imagination working to get
down the way it was and is in this place on the planet.”—
Dave Smith
