Snow Approaching on the Hudson is a collection that moves seamlessly through the often hypnogogic, porous realms of dreams, the past and present, inner and outer landscapes. His haunting, shifting atmospheres are peopled by characters, intimately portrayed, that are at one historical and invented.

The poet's signature rhythmic propulsion serves as the engine for his newest collection, and his always masterful free verse conveys a life thoroughly lived and brilliantly perceived.

Reviews

Praise for Snow Approaching on the Hudson

"Modernist slice-of-life vignettes abound in this atmospheric collection from Kleinzahler . . . akin to a bountiful meal—substantially pleasing and worth the investment if consumed at a leisurely pace."—Publishers Weekly
