"Confidence tells of joy and suffering with equal grace, in fluid lines that glide from the banal to the enorm, as does, you know, life. These long, patient poems are casually astonishing. They lift me from this planet up into the night sky and then gently set me down again. They are as bold and as trusting as the book's title suggests. The risks they take make me sometimes feel exhilarated, like "Here is a poet who doesn't give a damn!" And then I read on, and realize a damn is absolutely given, that Seth Landman is a poet of great tenderness and compassion. Thank goodness for him. This book just gave my world a little more glow."
