Hofstadter's plainspoken, emotionally direct, subtly wrought lyrics have appeared over the last couple of decades in a steady stream of collections that display a distinctive voice comfortable in its own integrity, completely independent of whatever contrivances are trending in the creative writing industry. His poems speak with the clarity and economy of mature reflection on a lifetime of simple pleasures and revelations. In The Miracle Garden he has harvested a choice selection of his life's work ripe with openhearted intelligence, wonder and gratitude.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e -Stephen Kessler, author of \u003ci\u003eMoving Targets: On Poets, Poetry \u0026amp; Translation.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Each poem in \u003ci\u003eThe Miracle Garden: Selected Poems of Marc Elihu Hofstadter\u003c\/i\u003e begins with such a casual air, we saunter in, relishing the simplicity. Topics are ordinary and magical. And Hofstadter refrains from polishing, as that would tarnish the magic. This shows the poet's exquisite sensibility; he was trained by his subjects.\"\u003cp\u003e -Clive Matson, author \u003ci\u003eLet the Crazy Child Write!\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHello, Paradise.
