Human Scale
It would be difficult for me to overstate my admiration for Michael Kelleher's new poems. They vibrate to a music rarely heard before, combining passion and intelligence with such mastery that one is left stunned by the pleasure they afford. With few words, an entire world
is born.
-- Paul Auster
Lyric in its intensity, Michael Kelleher’s Human Scale reveals by way of its commitment to the poetic fragment both the measure and the song of this human, all too human world. Tuned open and emotionally pitched, his insistent music reminds us, thankfully, that we’re not alone in “reckless silence.”
--Peter Gizzi
