“Reading one of Ted Lardner’s best poems is like driving a desert road that leads up into the mountains; the vista keeps getting wider, and after your attention focuses on some engaging detail — a flower, an animal, some evidence of human agency — suddenly there’s the wide world again, more open than you knew.” –Mark Doty
