A poet who can make us know, with this intensity, what we may do when the words each into silence, even the silence between the stars, has begun to tell us of the place for love. Certainly we can want no better." --Michael Heffernan, Poetry "Miranda composes with wit and delicacy, moving into a poem with attractive ease. He works nicely with the small stanza but on occasion can open into a powerful rhetoric." --William H. Pritchard, The Hudson Review "In poem after poem, Miranda projects a personal sound, a benevolent voice, honest, considerate, often amused, often sad." --Sandra McPherson, Antioch Review And for his translation of Rilke's Duino Elegies: "At last here is a translation of Rilke that retains the brilliance of the original. Throw away all your other translations of the Duino Elegies and get this one." --Robin Skelton, The Malahat Review "Miranda makes Rilke persuasive in English to a degree that is perfectly astounding. Nowhere does it read like a translation. --Robert Boyers, Salmagundi "No other translation compares to this one. Gary Miranda's fusion of music and meaning transforms Rilke's Elegies into living beings in English." --Jan Freeman, director of Paris Press
