| Consolation
at
Ground
Zero
(1996):
The
novelist
and
poet
George
Garrett
wrote
of
this
collection,
"in
these
poems,
people,
places
and
things
shine
as
if
newly
made."
Wrote
poet
Marianne
Boruch,
"Brooke
Horvath
makes
what
is
ordinary
meaningful
in
thoughtful
and
complex
ways.
And
he
takes
hardships
given
us
and
transforms
them.
But
not
to
sweeten
them.
.
.These
poems
glow.
And
they
last."
Available
in
hard
cover

The
Lecture
on
Dust:
A
collection
of
new
poems
from
the
author
of
Consolation
at
Ground
Zero.
Commenting
upon
these
poems,
poet
Donald
Revell
observes,
"Horvath
is
a
cosmologist
of
moments
.
.
.
upon
his
maps,
we
may
read
the
farewell
greeting
of
all
things
real
and
near,
imagined
and
far."
Writes
Ed
Sanders
(America:
A
History
in
Verse,
Tales
of
Beatnik
Glory),
"The
Lecture
on
Dust
is
in
good
part
an
exploration
of
the
triumph
of
love
and
companionship,
but
it's
much
more
than
'all
you
need
is.
.
.
."
