Greg Huteson is a poet always sensitive to the spiritual life while keeping his feet firmly on the ground. Casual readers will delight in his eye for detail; experienced readers will soon realize that they have encountered a true artist with a talent for the subtlest turns of phrase. Take a look at "Break of Day," "A Morning Word," "Gaps," or "Homestead" and you'll see what I mean. Huteson's poems teach us how to see and how to listen.
-William Thompson, editor of Alabama Literary Review
A Texan and longtime missionary in Taiwan, Greg Huteson regards his world with generosity and awe. These quietly powerful poems move back and forth through memory-from abandoned Texas houses, to latter-day evocations of Tang Dynasty tradition, a fable of kitchenware come to life, and the pleasure of eating dragon fruit, the "reminder of a greeny world/of fields marked and marred/with clambering, fragile stems." Huteson's faith is central. With playful skepticism, he imagines guardian angels on watch or sketches the elderly eccentric who kindles a courtyard apocalypse. Yet his search for meaning is tireless, as in the haunting pantoum that reminds us, "A cup of water for the one in hell/is the gift of a one-eyed man./It's better, by far, to enter into Life." This is a wise and transcendent debut.
-Ned Balbo, author of The Cylburn Touch-Me-Nots
