“There is a staccato quality to Wyn Cooper’s poetry that I admire, as if the words have been pried out of him. The poems’ brevity and short phrases become telegraphic. They give his language a sense of urgency, but nothing is hurried. The poems move forward thoughtfully and gracefully as they bear witness to the world’s fragility and to Mr. Cooper’s own.” --Stephen Dobyns
"Wyn Cooper explores an overlooked territory that lies between the crafty irony of Frank O'Hara and the more unalloyed sentiments of contemporary popular culture."
--T.R. Hummer
“Wyn Cooper’s superb postcard poems, deft and exemplary, say just enough, and never too much.”
--Jane Hirshfield
“Wyn Cooper’s poems are tight and pithy
and fun.”
--James Tate
