"Congratulations to Ross Talarico and the City of Rochester for motivating young people and stimulating the interest of the whole community in vital matters of literacy and literature."-Barbara Bush "Ross Talarico has a rare talent: he captures the inner thoughts of ‘ordinary’ people and reveals their extraordinary visions."-Studs Terkel "Ross Talarico’s work is beautiful and moving."-Candice Bergen "Talarico’s book has a big heart. Its great driving force is the urgency of personal experience. And its message is an important one: that we in America are losing touch with each other as individuals, as social classes, and as races partly because of our gradual loss of ownership of our language."-Ron Padgett, Teachers & Writers Collaborative "There are too few books in which the mysterious power of poetry in the lives of everyday people becomes apparent. Talarico’s is a little American classic."-David Shapiro, author of After a Lost Original
