“Gene Stevenson is a visionary. He has an eye for small towns, lonely roads, the past, and the past in the present. When his poems talk to you, they haunt you.”
–Dan Cuddy, editor, The Loch Raven Review
“Stevenson’s poems are as gritty as the places they ride us through: Over and through the mountains/ miles and miles of emptiness to Eureka; from Santiago to the funeral mass for a mother who when she could no longer/ repeat her children’s names in birth order…smiled;; to Union Station, Chicago, where the sandwich is greasy and good; and his words catch us hard in a Pittsburgh picket line where we are instructed to Keep quiet. Keep your eyes straight ahead. These are poems for all of us who make plans to leave only to find that a move cannot take me from myself. Where I am is/ where I have been, Stevenson’s poems keep our eyes straight ahead, watching for the next poem like a signpost.”
–Dana Wildsmith, author, One Light
“Thoughtful, creative and descriptive; a lovely little collection of ‘on the road’ poetry.”
–Robin Barratt, editor, THE POET magazine.
