Like Stevens’ Jar in Tennessee, Bentley puts a poem into the woods, shaping and reshaping the woods. But then, the woods reshape the poem. Geometries and prepositions, Mary M. on the lam, God and gangsters conspire. These poems talk to you like they like you. They want you to be happy listening to goats and pelicans bleat, admiring leaves set with cuttlefish pounce, crossing the wide humid tongue of Mississippi floodplain, making mothers comfortable on ice floes. They want you to be happy even though sometimes the world crashes our go-cart nearly seven times before launching us face first onto the asphalt. These poems move from the crash of youth to the oxygen tubes of age, from apple to St. Louis, from Crater Lake to outer space. These poems won’t sit still. These poems ask that jar in Tennessee to get up and dance around.
—Nicole Walker, author of The Noisy Egg, and Quench Your Thirst with Salt
I have been a fan of Wade Bentley’s clear-eyed poems for a long time now, and each time I read them I marvel. They’re tight and loose, restrained and lush all at the same time. They display a wide range of tone, as well—from wistful to angry to joyful to darkly funny—shot through with an honest strand of melancholy. In short, Wade’s work is gorgeous.
—Ann Edwards Cannon, author of Charlotte’s Rose, and Amazing Gracie
…you will understand, perhaps that I am not altogether / happy to be back, but I am here with these lines, Wade Bentley shows us how to move from world-weary to alive, and shows us how he dares to leap that immeasurable gap—sometimes a crack in the sidewalk, sometimes an abyss—again and again. He has the wit and the sharp eye to do it, too, to risk the losses and yet somehow to rescue them. These are poems for saving, and for living in, the everyday, and are to be cherished for just that.
—Lisa Bickmore, author of Haste, and flicker

What Is Mine C Wade Bentley 9780692366011 Books Reviews
Bentley's writing reminds us that even the most ordinary things and experiences can be extraordinary when we realize how precious moments of life truly are. This collection is clean like a recently swept cabin floor with surprising and fresh imagery spurred up while maintaining a sparseness that makes me savor each word even more to not lose a single drop.
Finished reading your book today. Congratulations on making me think on so many different levels that I haven't visited for quite some time. It's going to take a few more readings over the next few months so that I can have more fun with your words floating around inside my head.
Great book! Beautiful and honest writing. A true treasure.
