Quiet Insurrections
Joy Roulier Sawyer, author of Tongues of Men and Angels
Klawitter's outlook, at once revolutionary and theological, contains hope that, yes, we can improve our lot. It is how he can write a poem in dedication to the El Salvador Martyrs but still embrace a "foolosophy" that delights in the wonders of nature like a latter-day Saint Francis.
Karl Wolfe, The Driftless Area Review
Klawitter's delight in the sounds of words and in indulging his quirky imagination is infectious. He clearly had a good time writing the poems in Quiet Insurrections, and his readers will have a good time reading them. But Klawitter's sense of play is not only humorous. "A Flock Made Flesh" and "At the Franciscan Retreat Center, Colorado Springs," for instance, employ startling metaphysical conceits. There are poems here to draw the reader in to discover, in Klawitter's words, "the poem behind the poem."
Luke Stromberg, Assistant Director of the West Chester University Poetry Conference
