"Brian Tracy's exquisite poems evoke those "ghostlier demarcations" summoned by Wallace Stevens,
another poet for whom the sea is muse. Because Tracy is a poet of powerful restraint and beautiful nuance. The Distance Between Shores is a book of delicately suspended, liminal spaces, spaces in which one hears
whispers from the other world as well as "the howl and hunger" of this one."
Gail Wronsky, Director of Creative Writing Loyola Marymount University
and author of Poems for Infidels and Dying for Beauty
"Brian Michael Tracy's elegant, meditative poems emerge from a landscape of mist and dream like lost beloveds. There's a quiet vigor and wisdom in this poet's work that comes from allowing the self to crawl inside silence and observe. The Distance Between Shores will astonish and fill you with the breath of life."
Michelle Bitting, author of Good Friday Kiss and winner of the DeNovo First Book Award
