“It is a pleasure to read love poems in The Oath and Amen: they are playful, delicate, engaging, and fresh in their word choices. It goes without saying that they are melodic; and I relish also the occasional surprising word-arrangement, or striking figure." --Richard Wilbur
“These are strong intellectual love poems of a rich texture of meanings and feelings.” --Karl Shapiro
“The many facets of love and lover, shown in these delicate, sensuous songs, mirror anticipation and fulfillment, uncertainty and acceptance, hope and ecstasy." --Publisher’s Note
