"Crossing
the Ladder of the Sun" engages the reader in complex
and subtle questions about desire, loss, hope, eros, and
ecology…Each
poem is carefully sustained in tone, imagery, and feeling;
each poem is characterized by a love for the delicacy and
sturdiness
of language. These are poems that know their connections to
the rhythms of the heart.” -Carl Leggo, author of Views
from My Mother’s House
