Borders Chapbook Series #5
"I have always admired the ÔreachÕ of Kelly ShepherdÕs poems; that is, I have always admired Kelly for avoiding the trendy, the rhetorical, and descending instead into the guts of this world, slowly, and with reverence." - John Lent "Kelly ShepherdÕs poetry reflects his acute observation of ordinary life. His spare lines capture the essence of a scene or event or feeling and comment incisively, but unobtrusively. ShepherdÕs poetry is both ironic and romantic, crystalline and lyrical." - Curt Gesch "Kelly Shepherd is like the quiet kid in class whose head is bursting with thoughts. ItÕs fitting, then, that Kelly writes with a quiet passion that literally roars between the lines." - Mark Kozub, the Alberta Beatnik |
