"Lucid, bittersweet, dense with memory, transparent and ephemeral as the dew. Black and white images... palpable achievements and failures, Bartholomew's verses are reflective without sentimentality. These poems bridge an earlier era, unapologetically, with themes universally important...." -Raymond Hutson author of Topeka, ma'shuge
