The poems in Cameron Morse's Far Other achieve qualities far beyond the courage obviously required to write them at all. The poems exhibit literary endurance. When Morse offers a prayer "To the Patron Saint of Phlebotomy," for example, he displays a talent for form and wit, essential to any art. A poem that acknowledges "the glial white in gray / matter" becomes an object of beauty; the appearance of St. Augustine alongside a two-year-old playing in the garage, pure affirmation. The images are unrelenting and tender; and Morse, himself, one of the finest poets of our time. -Robert Stewart, Working Class: Poems.
