Description
Our Music by Dennis Schmitz is part of the California Poets Series.
What joys of discovery lie in wait for readers here, in Dennis Schmitz’s final collection. There is no falling off: the same lancing wit prevails, along with the psychological and spiritual acuity which has always marked his work. His poetic canon, first to last, here rounded out, inspires delight and reverence. His originality is our treasure, a gift we scarcely know how to celebrate adequately.
—David Young, author of books including Field of Light and Shadow
This final collection of Dennis Schmitz’s poetry resonates with his keen observations and his refusal to deny life’s complexities and difficulties. These steadfast poems worship the world we have before us, despite its pain. How wonderful to hear “our music” in his poems.
— Susan Kelly-DeWitt, author of Gatherer’s Alphabet
