Ken
Weisner, former editor of Quarry West and author of
The Sacred Geometry of Pedestrians writes, "George Lober's
poems are exquisite refractions-'glistening/ shards of sound'-lines
clean and true. Shift of Light is a book of sweet wit and solid
wisdom; but at the heart of Lober's work is his marvelous vulnerability
and courage-as son, father, lover. You will be charmed-you will be
won over-by this superb collection." |

William
Minor, author of Some Grand Dust writes, “Shift
of Light reveals a fine eye for all forms of human landscape,
external and internal, ‘how the world works,’ and does so
with risk taking sensitivity (‘twenty dark hours/on a rain-swept
empty street’) humility, love, hope and even ‘reticence’
(dry, understated humor), and all the finely honed skill of a genuine
poet who should now attract the attention, and praise, he so richly
deserves.” |

Elliot
Ruchowitz-Roberts, in Casesura offers, "The wonder
of Shift of Light then is this-whether addressed to the poet
himself , or specifically to another, the poems reach out, put their
arms around our shoulders, and press us close, each poem transforming
experience, the way a sunrise can transform the Ha'upu range above
Kalipaki Bay, where we stand with the poet, 'witness [to] the way
old ridges pulled / from the unseen are made young again / by a simple
shift of light.'" |
