“This is the poetry of the aficionado, the expert and connoisseur; there is a real tenderness that comes through. A tenderness that I think extends to the world as a whole. This is poetry that loves. That is erotically attached to the world. This is poetry that believes in the social. This is the poetry of the shared meal, the chance meeting, the constant exchange between one person and another, no matter how small or trivial it might seem, that matters.” -Russel Swenson
