William Matthews's ten books have gradually earned him a place on the first roster of American poets - as water licks its steady way through stone. Very little of the poetry of the past twenty years, Henry Taylor has written in the Washington Times, is more intelligent and engaging than that of William Matthews . .. Admiring gratitude seems perfectly appropriate. The New Yorker has described Matthews's work as poems that revel in etymology and delight in colloquialism. And Carol Muske, in The Nation, has added: If asked, I couldn't come up with a poet more in tune with the ironies and stand-up vernacular, the jazz of the everyday, than William Matthews . . . Matthews is a wise and fine poet and a funny person. Like time and money, an unbeatable combination.

The National Book Critics Circle named it the winner of its 1995 award in poet
