“Jon Andersen’s mature, passionately human voice speaks for, and to, all those who have kept their sense of common decency. His poetry takes on the moral and social realities of our current era, speaking through them, in anger and with care, the whole spectrum of human emotions, not the least of which is exuberance. This is the healthiest, most honest poetry I’ve read in a long time.” —James Scully, author of Angel in Flames: Selected Poems 1967-2011
