Young writes with a unique combination of wisdom and terror, engendering a kind of sad calm, a hard-earned acceptance of life's difficulty and openness to its beauty."- Publishers Weekly"There's glow, wonder, in all his writing, even the poems of terrible pain, where wonder bathes the strangeness of the circumstances themselves, bathes the strength of spirit that allows those circumstances to be survived. . . He's become one of our most piercing, luminous prose poets."- Richard Silberg, Poetry Flash
