Poetry for everyone
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I love this book of poems, and I love Stephen Dunn's work in general. His masterful and eloquent (and often surprising) use of language is so artful that it must be respected by the academic writing community, yet it is accessible enough that anyone (even those who do not ordinarily "get" poetry) can read and enjoy these poems. Stephen Dunn is, quite simply one of the greatest living American poets.
An Exceptional Book to Read and Give
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
The poems in "Between Angels" avoid cliche and the predictable territory of 'angels' -- while remaining tender, evocative, passionate, lyrical, and profound. I can't count the hours I have spent with this book, nor how many copies I have given as gifts. If I were to try to explain why I turn to poetry for companionship, nourishment, joy, beauty -- I probably would offer this book as an answer.
BUY IT trust me it's good

Stephen Dunn is genious and I feel this is his best work yet, I have read this book at least twelve times, and I have't owned it that long.
Best work from one of our best living poets
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Stephen Dunn is a wonderful writer whose work has evolved over the years from terribly funny to terribly poignant. He is also one of the nicest men you'll ever meet. If you've never read him and wonder what you'd think, find a copy of this book in the library and read the first poem, "The Guardian Angel," which is my personal favorite of all his works. If you like it as much as I did, you'll buy the book.
Beautiful Voice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Stephen Dunn has a beautiful voice that is in no way preachy or condescending to the reader. His poems are easy on the eyes and healing for the heart. S. Rea
