"James Applewhite and Seamus Heaney are the same kind of talents and Applewhite's "Selected Poems" suggests accomplishment worthy of comparison. It is rugged and refined, classical in decorum and local in idiom, deep in wisdom and clear as water in freshness. It is a compact, luminous etching of a singular imagination working to get down the way it was and is in this place on the planet."--Dave Smith
