Life Among the Trolls

More about the book

[Reading Stanton] my ultimate impression is of a poet of snow and flame, one who conveys a sense of burning reality, of the strange fire within and without, crackling with spirit and invention. --Stanley Kunitz. [In these poems] imagination and reality intersect, lending weight to the fantasies and a numinous dimension to ordinary lives. Imagination becomes a tool of compassion and a vehicle of social conscience. --Ben Howard, Poetry. Stanton makes a believable claim to being one of America's most authoritative poetic voices. --Booklist.
