What other poets are saying

“
Rara Avis's keenest ace is its clear-eyed focus on family care and dissonance and on the eureka of generational love and forgiveness. Falconer averts predictability and dwells (and even heals) in the kingdom of epiphanic memory, of nuance and caesura—poetry's kingdom.
— Cyrus Cassells, author of Is There Room for Another Horse on Your Horse Ranchon Rara Avis
“
Blas Falconer will look into your heart and tell you about it.
— Kazim Ali, author of Inquisitionon Forgive the Body This Failure
“
Falconer's landscapes elevate the pastoral to a level where the music has the force of an idea, in a language at once symbolic and probic.
— Stanley Plumly, author of Old Hearton The Foundling Wheel
“
Falconer illuminates the transitory nature of all human satisfaction and comfort.
— María Meléndez, author of How Long She'll Last in This Worldon A Question of Gravity and Light
