"Pat Collins's poems are feasts for the senses. Rich with color, textures, sounds, the palatable delights of words themselves, they return us to the world as we first loved it, when "each day was shaped like a fat purse, holding secrets, spilling keys." --Jody Gladding
"Here is the world through the painter's eye where the moon is vermeil, and wears a 'flat gold face.' Clear and vibrant." --Alice Friman
