Poetry. '...[W]hat is this intervening / That passes for now but / A box with windows...' I am shaken by these poems, over and over lines so wise, so tender, they both weep and laugh as they tumble from the page. I love the quiet authority in the seeing--in the telling--the careful, calm listening, the poet's life, passing through him, touched and held sacred by him, on its way to each reader.... In AND WE'D UNDERSTAND CROWS LAUGHING W. Nick Hill shows us that it is, yes, a fine thing to hear the coded voices, the evidence of existence all things place in the wind, but it's an even higher calling to translate these voices. The poems give hope, describe impossible loveliness and hold clues on how to survive our collective day of reckoning. This wonderful, kind and meticulously crafted book, without knowing it or intending it, is in truth a book of answers.--Gary Lemons

The scale of Nick Hill's poetry runs from fava beans to 'the dinosaur's great collapse.' The cultural richness reaches from Spain and Latin America to the twisting wonders of contemporary American poetry. This book has literary heft, and should establish him as one of our essential poets.--James Bertolino
