Editorial Reviews
Review
Donald Revell, final judge and author of My Mojave, Arcady, and There Are Three
"Goldbeater's Skin is a gorgeous debut; reading these poems renews our recognition of the world's precarious splendor."
Arthur Sze, author of The Redshifting Web and Archipelago
"In Goldbeater's Skin, as in the work of Wallace Stevens, the reader encounters a fiercely intelligent and fiercely playful interiority that is astonishing. Displaying a brawny, hierophantic lexical range with breathtaking swerves into a warm vernacular, G. C. Waldrep's poetry is made even rarer in its accomplishment by a lapidary tenderness."
Dean Young, author of Skid, First Course in Turbulence, and Strike Anywhere
