John Hodgen's book is a remarkable achievement, with poem after poem facing the relentlessness of the world and delivering life to us with clarity and an art so deft as to seem invisible. But the art is there and brings something new to poetry, which I am delighted to greet with warmth and enthusiasm.
-Vern Rutsala, author of The Mystery of Lost Shoes

| Praise for Bread Without Sorrow |
"In My Father's House is simply one of the most powerful books of poems I have read in a long, long time. [Hodgen] celebrates our humanity as he looks, unblinking, at the misery of the world with intensity, integrity, and compassion. Some of these poems are absolutely haunting."
- Jim Daniels, winner of the 2006 Blue Lynx Prize for Poetry |
