The Porch Poems

Poetry. The spirit of Horace, the melancholy of time slithering away and turning all to dust, tempered with art, wit and good grace: Solonche's is the Horatian spirit for our time and place.--Ricardo Nirenberg, editor of Offcourse

J. R. Solonche not only sees the secrets of the world's often-overlooked minutia, but also has the gift of translating those mysteries for those who read his crafted words.--Stephen Cramer, winner of the National Poetry Series and the Louise Bogan Award
