"Rob Carney is tuned to some amazing frequency-it comes from 500 North and Morton, it comes from beyond, it comes from when we were wooded slopes-but he listens and returns with these poems, thrumming with 'lifeblood,' these songs which throw down and call out (see 'Poetic Justice'), which are often rich with praise but never falsify. Sure, one might want to 'lovetalk' nature but nature will always kick our ass. It's always there, underneath us, 'with teeth.' I find this book both serious and joyful. CALL AND RESPONSE is such a good journey." -Kate Northrop
