"The poems in You Are Here, Paul Breslin's marvelous new book, bring the whole soul into activity. They're funny, poignant, meditative, lyrical, visionary, allusive, seer-like at times, and citizen-like at others. These poems don't act as if the last two hundreds years of intellectual and social history haven't happened. . . . [It] is a memorable book, a beautiful book." --Alan Shapiro, author of The Dead Alive and Busy

"In an incisive plain style dedicated to clarity, directness, and psychologically acute observation balanced by meditative poise, Paul Breslin weaves personal and historical threads with a particular intelligence to reveal the paradoxes of experience, justice, and the decorum of giving voice. A long awaited and arresting first book of poems." --Tikkun
