The poet has a deftness with rhythm, language, and rhyme that is marvelous. Starbuck's skill is in taking what at first glance is a lighthearted rhythmic or rhyming poem as simple as whipped cream, and weaving in a deeper meaning that solidifies as he goes on so the finish is a satisfaction found of a richer, meatier poem.

This is a wonderful first book of poems from a writer who combines remarkable technical agility with sardonic humor and also deep feeling.

Starbuck has an amazing way of stringing words together beautifully... I thoroughly enjoyed his collection of poems. Wonderful first book.
