Breath: Poems 2000-2002 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780915008063)

"No poet is more particular to the wild outside and inside vastnesses of New Mexico, where Cabeza de Vaca got truly lost and D.H. Lawrence equally found." Robert Creeley.

"Nature is also a common theme in Goodell's poetry: the role of Nature, the need to save the planet from destruction by corporate greed, the beauty of walking in the Ojito Wilderness, the yearly gardens around his house, his tasks with the local committee to clean out irrigation canals, the stark beauty of the Sandia foothills, the timeless poetry of the 'fervent valley' where he lives, above the larger Rio Grande Valley; in the shadow of the Cosmic Mountain. We think you will find all these riches in the poetry of Larry Goodell." Gary Brower

"His poems . . . are clear fables, alien stories, truth parading in spirals. His muse is full of imagination and wonder." Jules Nyquist, founder of Jules Poetry Playhouse.

"Goodell is a natural, a category that academe either explicitly denies, actively discourages, or has forgotten." Gus Blaisdell in "Co[s]mic Clown," in Artspace Fall 1976.

"Breath is really 3 books: 'The Light No Stars are Made Of, ' 'Oh Cabezon, ' and 'Breath' and it traverses a time at the beginning of the last decade where Goodell leads us all further into his playfulness and inventiveness." Don McIver
