“A voice rich enough to carpet the walls and warm enough to provoke the fondest of memories. Each of his poems is knee-deep in history; his poems are fingerprints of his life….” —Monica L. Piñon, Austin Chronicle
“Whether he is writing of his grandmother in “La Partera” or of the way the rain speaks on a summer night, Robert René Galván is a poet who senses the link between music and language in a deep and intimate way.”—Susan Hansen, San Marcos Daily Record
“Robert René Galván has the gift of intuition every true poet should have; he knows instinctively how to pace the images embodied in his word sequences…he is able to fit the eye of the seer to the soft yet strong tissues of melody, sometimes even when pierced by the nature of cicadas.”—Miguel González, Gerth
“These poems are triumphs of intelligent imagination, striking in their beauty, wit, and precision, their depth and detail. It is good to know that poetry like this is being written.”—David Wevill
