Reviews

Every poem is an island, surrounded by the ocean of language; these microcosmic works by Hoyt Rogers map a gleaming archipelago of words. - Pablo Baez Most saliently, Witnesses plunges us into the strata of human experience that lie hidden in subterranean privacy, emerging only as prayer. Personally, I return to this collection again and again: it is a volume for all seasons. - Anne Davenport Los poemas de Hoyt Rogers son como hermosos caracoles que recogemos en la playa. Nos enriquecen, nos revitalizan, pero sobre todo nos llenan de poesía, especialmente cuando de noche nos los acercamos al oído y distinguimos su voz mezclada con la del mar. - Frank Baez
