On Light Sources and Landing Rights: Decidedly prolific bite-sized, brief, crisply restrained and profoundly philosophical. The Chicago Review
I was moved, deeply moved by David Jaffin's collections of verse, by their sensitivity, their loveliness, their honesty. Chaim Potok
Everything about these books underlines the classical nature of his art ... Jaffin's work, it seems to me, represents the area from which any poetic revival will have to start ... Jaffin's language is highly abstracted, sharp and original. This is not easy poetry: it is the product of American energy and a Judaic sensibility, it is intelligent and demanding. -The late Michael Butler, University of Birmingham, England
Dream Flow is a substantial collection of David Jaffin's poetry. At 311 pages, it's an inexhaustible well in which one can gaze and dip at one's leisure, bringing reflective waters to the lips. To say these poems reveal the extent of the intricate word-play and the shimmer of meanings. And the more one sees and says the more the subtle gifts keep coming. -Jessie Glass, Mekai University, Tokyo, Japan
On Dream Flow David Jaffin is a prolific American poet whose work uses the minimum possible means of expression in order to reach for essentials in his subject matter ... The limpid texture of his work resists quotation or excerption; his deceptively simple surfaces use the tensions inherent in the vocabulary to open up new horizons. Delicate creations, his poems tend to be wonderfully light lyrics. -www.bogpriser.dk, Denmark
