Poetry. "Judson Mitcham is, to use his own fine phrase, a `comedian of innocence.' And in his new book [THIS APRIL DAY] he shows himself to be a comedian of experience as well. I can't think of a poet in America today who is writing more movingly or with a greater depth of humor. His poems can inspire tears or laughter. Often both"--Mark Jarman.
