Tom Chandler is poet laureate of Rhode Island emeritus. He has been named Phi Beta Kappa Poet at Brown University, and has been a featured poet at the Library of Congress and the Robert Frost homestead. His poems have often been heard on National Public Radio. Tom Chandler’s poems are part of a national consciousness. His work repositions readers, illuminates humanity. — Elizabeth Inglese, Southern California Review Reading a Tom Chandler poem, one can’t help feeling “Oyster Envy,” a desire to bathe in the same tides of warmth, humor and humanity that the poet enjoys on his Rhode Island coast. Fortunately, with this generous collection of a lifetime’s work, the tide has finally come in for the rest of us. — Dan Veach, Atlanta Review In this quintessentially American mix — commentary, elegy, protest and song — Tom Chandler’s poetry careens across the decades, asking (in the words of the salesman in “Selling Door to Door”): “Who bears the riddle of our lives?” — Jody Bolz, Poet Lore
