You Won't Need That

Poetry. "The dark trees of midnight have always been as central to Robert Gregory's poems as the flowers in the garden are in James Schuyler's. I've always thought of Gregory as a solitary walker whose sharp eye never misses a fleeting shadow, a hidden bird, the barest hint of moonlight through the clouds. In YOU WON'T NEED THAT, all those elements remain, but they've expanded into a poetry that is more emotive, more surreal, where smoke can speak and trees are gods. Take that walk with Gregory and you'll find, when dawn breaks, nothing is quite the same."—Robert Hershon
