Critical Praise for Tracking the Morning

• These poems are rich with the life lived, vivid and funny, precise in their American idiom and cadence. . . . These are delicious poems, rendering small towns and ordinary life in exquisite and touching detail.

  — Donald Hall, from the preface to Tracking the Morning

• Telling many stories, Robert Fink's new poems are of reminiscence and nostalgia, early loves and losses, the oddities of experience in our ordinary lives, in rural and town places of Texas. He expresses an intense desire to praise, and a desire no less intense to be forgiven. He honors the ordinary suffering of daily life, and hints at something much larger and darker in the experience of a war long ago (hints we must never forget). Humane and compassionate, good-humored and celebratory, Fink's new poems exemplify the spaciousness of our inner lives.
