Bill Wolak's love poems are finely tuned expressions of urgency and desire. They explore the lover's body with expectation on the brink of pleasure. --John Digby What a body of work! "and my eyes, impatient as lightning, / search for your hair / of storm-twisted branches . . . " Wolak's magic & word power has destroyed the last vestiges of puritanism on earth. --Gabriel Rosenstock Like a painter exploring every tone of a single hue patiently and like a singer endeavoring variations of a note in constant motion, Wolak explores the body with words. Reading these poems one realize that without language it would have been impossible to perceive beauty. Who would have believed that fragile flesh has so much of eternity within! --Dileep Jhaveri In these poems the heart pours out longing as a mingling of dream and arousal. The erotic potency of Wolak's love poems evokes a condition that is most profoundly human. --Joan Digby
