Tipping Point

Of Dale Ritterbusch's first collection, Lessons Learned, I said, These are poems of great power and marvelous sensibility, haunting and beautiful." Of his second book, Far from the Temple of Heaven, I wrote, "Ritterbusch takes up where he left off and moves forward with confidence, clarity, and grace." Now, with these poems in Tipping Point, he offers us a poet at the height of his powers and a wisdom that approaches the sublime. We would be fools to turn away, being sorely in need of both. -W. D. Ehrhart, author of Thank You for Your Service: Collected Poems
