Good Morning and Good Night Reviews

"Every now and then in the history of literature--but not very often--a writer (usually a poet) appears who in the very development of his work (and behind it, of course, that of his person) gives us what is in its totality a work of art, by which one means a composed progress into amplitude, into triumph, so that one begins to hear the piercing sound of bugles, to see banners flying on ramparts. It is difficult to describe something so exhilarating, and nothing that has been said here demonstrates it. But David Wagoner's career is one of those, and someday--if we stay alive--history will know it." Mark Schorer, The Literature of America: Twentieth Century "Good Morning and Good Night offers the sheer pleasure of immersion in an agile, masterly, awed and polished mind. 'All waiting there for you like a riverbed,' this collection is Wagoner at his brilliant best." R. T. Smith, author of The Hollow Log Lounge
