"Daniel Bouchard's
book is wonderful. A pure and absolute democracy of insight. Even had
I not the privilege of knowing the author, I'd still feel moved to praise
"Diminutive Revolutions." These poems make me feel that all attempts to
convince us we live in an age bereft of beauty, poor in meaning, and lacking
compassion will fail. Boredom is a crime, the active mind is alive."
—Jennifer Moxley
Poetry, geography, ornithology, and history— Daniel Bouchard is the captain
of them all. Here is a poet who has found his place in the topography
of a sprawling world. His navigations are a pleasure to behold.
—Lisa Jarnot
