Praise for Bruce Guernsey's January Thaw:
"Bruce Guernsey knows the rhythms we move to when we're alone, and he lays them down around us in his lines. He's a sharp-eared craftsman, with a feel for such elements of poetry as line-breaks and resolution and the five-stress beat that comes through the skillfully casual diction as a continual and good surprise. Here is a poet." -Miller Williams

January Thaw was originally published by the University of Pittsburgh Press.
