- Summary:
- Acclaimed poet and critic Lloyd Schwartz has been praised in the New York Times as "the master of the poetic one-liner" and in the Times Literary Supplement for "how powerfully [his] verse can still deliver the idioms and nuances of American speech." Humane, deeply moving, and curiously hopeful, the poems in Little Kisses are distinguished by their unsentimental but heartbreaking tenderness, pitch-perfect ear for dialogue, formal surprises, and exuberant sense of humor.
