New York Times Book Review - Helen Vendler (06/18/1995)
"Poets live the lives all of us live, with one big difference. They have the power--the power of the word--to create a world of thoughts and emotions others can share. We only have to learn to listen."
Bill Moyers
"One could luxuriate for a long time in the interviews and poems Moyers so lovingly presents, but 'The Language of Life' is also a ticket to the world of poetry outside its pages."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Patricia Holt (07/16/1995)
"The big story is that poetry is exploding, all the way from college campuses, to weekend poetry seminars, to the publishing houses. There's a renaissance of poetry in America."
American Bookseller - Bill Moyers (08/19/1995)
