On Landing in New Jersey with Soft Hands (1994): "A new voice: welcome it. BJ Ward's, with a new idiom, new accents, new rhythms. Speaking to and for a new generation, the young people of the `90s. This is where it's at now, he says, and he's right. Singing and squawking. It's beautiful to hear, encouraging to see." - Hayden Carruth Winner of the 1996 National Book Award for Poetry |
