"Richard Wink writes in a clear, interesting, resounding voice that brings the reader into any scene he draws upon. Tightly written and thoroughly enjoyable, Richard Wink's new volume is not to be missed."
Jack Henry: Poet and Host of Rob & Jack America

"A consummate master of the metaphor Wink has the ability to lead you through seaside towns and beaches and, in-between seemingly innocent words, to enlighten you to as to the surreal nature of the human condition.... Read these poems. Then read them all again. Be encouraged by them and by this totally original poet to tread the poetry sidewalks with a meat-cleaver dripping thick inky blood in one hand and a skeptical smile on your lips that barely conceals the fact that you are doing what you do for all of us, even if at times it hurts… that's what Wink does and it is totally refreshing."
Alan Corkish: Poet and Editor of Erbacce Press

"Every time I read the work of Richard Wink I dream of foreign seas with odd birds circling the waves. I dream of distant lands, gray and soaked with the constant drizzle of Spring. I dream of cliffs and beaches and mossy hills and unknown languages. I dream of rolling hills filled with sheep and all kinds of animals. With every collection he generously send across the ocean to me his work seems to get stronger, more mature, more exploratory and powerful."
