"Cheerful and boyish, Kirby's poems [are]... written as though Kirby was trying to keep up with some bright inspiration moving at breakneck speed." -- Publishers Weekly
"Kirby [is] a poet of shared humanity.... His poetry embraces subjects, words, and readers of all types in a blaze of ebullience and humility." -- Harvard Review
"We're aflutter with anticipation of what drama is next to unfold from this dignified yet funny storyteller." -- Library Journal
"Kirby's discursive poetry is something fresh.... I'm glad he's out there." -- Parnassus: Poetry in Review
In comical and complex poems, David Kirby examines our extraordinarily human condition through the lens of our ordinary daily lives. These keenly observant poems range from the streets of India, Russia, Turkey, and Port Arthur, Texas, to the imaginations of fellow poets Keats and Rilke, and to ruminations on the mundane side of life via the imperfect sandwich.
Whether remembering girls' singing groups of the 1950s or recounting a child asking his priest if his dog would go to heaven, Kirby has the ability to make us laugh, but he can also bring us to tears through our laughter.
