Past praise for Christopher Buckley:
“The poems are modest, straightforward, intensely lyrical and totally accessible. . . .  This is a humble poetry of great truths and profound emotions that never overstates its concerns for the events both in and above the world.  It rewards countless readings and never betrays itself.”
—Philip Levine on Sky in Ploughshares
 

“Time and the shifts of time are the burden: not simply time as recollection or loss but also and everywhere the persistent loneliness of star time, mastodon time, so that finally these are poems in which reflection takes on uncommon amplitude and presence. And all this would be nothing, of course, without the language, which is the glory of these poems.”
—Peter Everwine on Dark Matter
 

“Christopher Buckley’s gift for wide-ranging thinking meshes so gracefully with lovingly tender details, he feels like a companion voice for all time—a Hikmet, a Neruda, yes.”
—Naomi Shihab Nye on Back Room at the Philosopher’s Club

“There is a deep nostalgia here, but also wisdom and common sense, and beautiful writing. I welcome him at his maturist, poet of stardust.”
—Gerald Stern on And the Sea
 

“The poems are verbally so rich, generous, out-loud (I can't not intone the rhetorical flourishes), inclusive, wry. I like especially the orientation to the large-picture physics/cosmology at the same time that (Buckley) relates his own past. . . .  I like the tone—how else to address one's mortality & mixed luck except with irony & affection stirred with gratitude?”
—Dennis Schmitz

“Some poets like only celestial music, other the grit of the streets, but Buckley engages winningly with both.” 
—David Kirby in San Francisco Chronicle

“Prize-winning poet Buckley has a unique poetic voice, a sort of breathless, long-sentenced style that is gripping and captivating . . . . These are poems of immortality and extinction that can still make you smile.  He has an exquisite ear for language and a gutsy way of blending bravado with humility.”
—Judy Clarence in Library Journal

"There is a quietness to these poems and breakouts of lyrical intensity that define Buckley as a master of the art."
—North of Oxford
