Vern Rutsala Quotes and Sayings - Page 1

“They said daydreaming was against the law, but some of us escaped, slipping out windows and over cyclone fences, some of us flying away with heads like balloons. We taught our dogs to love the flavor of homework and became expert forgers of our parents’ signatures. We knew they were teaching us how to die but some of us said no in our stealthy and stubborn ways.”
-- Vern Rutsala -
“The language is spare and under control and has a genuine immediacy...The poems never preach but are lined out with a cool and therefore devastating effect”
-- Vern Rutsala
