Bird
In The Hand
"Paul Hostovsky’s poems send
the reader in two directions: one road leads to the brain,
the other to the heart. Intelligent and poignant, these poems
reveal the poet’s narrative bent, lyric grace, and technical
mastery, most notably, an uncanny knack for the double-duty
line break. In poem after poem, Hostovsky moves with ease
from the literal to the metaphorical. His fascination with
deafness, hands, and signing compels us to think about how
we listen or don’t listen, how we touch or fail to touch
each other, and what language really means. Here’s a
poet whose comfort zone is that squiggly spot where contradiction
resides, where we find 'a certain / glamour of great sorrows,
or beautiful / catastrophes.'”
—Diane Lockward

Dusk Outside The Braille Press
"Here are poems that take my imagination
and heart in directions I do not expect, with language both
accessible and rigorously crafted. With every visit among
these poems, I step away from them moved with gratitude for
how they enlarge my sense of the world I thought I knew."

Sonnets From
South Mountain
"They are slyly sonnets, these delightfully
pithy little narratives that have the relaxed quality of conversation,
are always more formal than they appear, but without ever
losing that improvisational effect. They shock with little
explosions of insight, take unexpected turns that rivet the
reader's attention. I read them straight through from cover
to cover!"
