Book excerpt: The book of verse that gave poet Edward Steinhardt a Pulitzer Prize in Poetry nomination. Richard Wilbur said of Dandelion Dreams that "Edward Steinhardt's poems move in a characteristic exploratory way, through scenes large or small, through relationships. They are highly readable--talkative, sympathetic, humane--and it is a pleasure to follow their course." Mr. Wilbur also said the poems are "precisely evocative."Robert Creeley said, "These poems are fact of an enduring human attention to what values and feelings are still possible in our world. They are pledge and record, testament and persuasive story, of a real life in a real time and place. Edward Steinhardt has learned his art with great determination and humility. His generous authority is clear in every page."
