Reviews

"In this collection, Carey examines the power of memory, the dreams we have, the praiseworthy moments, as well as the regrets that cling to us over a lifetime. Set in Stone shoots straight, with a voice that is natural and unaffected. You may see yourself in the small dark places of these poems, if you're not too timid to look."--Jeffrey Renard Allen, author of "Song of the Shank" and "Rails Under My Back"
