Notes
Review Quotes
Boston Globe
"There’s a dreaminess to the collection...the sense of conversations with people from prior parts of life in moments just before waking."
The Arts Fuse
"In his poetry, Schwartz creates a warm and likable persona who uses verse as a means of dealing with a difficult world. Reading Little Kisses is reassuring – and that is a valuable attribute given the times we are living in."
Consequence Magazine
“Despite the sometimes-grave themes, [the collection] is uplifting and joyous. All in all, it is a very lively mix of poems that move with subtlety, wisdom, good humor, and sly erudition. There is great musicality here and lots of rewarding lyrical surprises.”
Roger Rosenblatt
“A major poet with a gentle, comic soul”
