His voice is authentic; and his arresting collection has the heft and range of a tome." Translations include German poetry, Spanish poetry, French poetry, and Latin poetry.

Industry Reviews

Kurt has a linguistically intricate ear and a forceful passionate intellect, and when they work together the poems blaze with a fluent originality. The best of these are Grading the Weekend, Closing TimeLitanyA Certain Hesitancy in TuesdayEverestMidnight Recital, the Ghazal to

Disquietude. And, of the others, their writing level is very high.

I have great respect for this work.

From training to load nuclear rockets in Germany, to childhood abuse by children, to spiritual despair and enlightenment, to eroticism and romance, to "intertextual" allusions, to word-love and word-play, to realism, and to music, Kurt Lovelace dips his poet's tongue into the honey of intelligence and witness. His voice is authentic; and his arresting collection has the heft and range of a tome.
