"A famous sentence of Wordsworth comes to mind when reading Tidal Air by Edward Byrne: The child is father of the man. The structure of this book is archetypal, its rhythm tidal, its two stories—the illness and recovery of a child, the death of his grandfather and the inevitable process of mourning—like all achieved poetry, profoundly recapitulate the structures of human life itself.” —Jonathan Holden | |||||||||
"Byrne does what only the best poets can do...he makes connections which go beyond the landscape that can be described in spoken words, and he points to those truths which can never be fully captured in language." —Jill Peláez Baumgaertner in Christan Century
