“Meet Brian Tracy, a poet of impressive range and interests. His book begins with a series of meditative love poems. It expands to the comic and there are explorations of history, religion, and politics. We seem to meet the shade of Wallace Stevens and talk to Larry Levis. Finally we take a ride through the Los Angeles area with Dante at the wheel, culminating in a noir-ish, apocalyptic vision of the past, or is it the future?  Either way, it's quite a ride.”

Richard Garcia – Author of The Persistence of Objects and Rancho Notorious

“Brian Tracy’s poetry gives the reader that instant feeling of recognition derived from the realization that one has just encountered something universal, something uniquely human that resonates with all of us. It's at once sobering and uplifting, complex yet approachable, soothing yet provocative. It’s the kind of poetry that captures a piece of the essence of what it means to live life and connect into the commonenergy that binds us all.”

“Like Basho's elliptical vision of nature as truth, Brian Tracy's wonderful debut, Driving With Dante, pares down what it sees, placing the speaker somewhere "between the seduction of the horizon / and a strange devotion to shore"; all thewhilepaying homage to time's landscape, each "invisible kingdom" in our lives.Here, even when death comes from "the hands of men / riding their father's horses" the poet aptly, beautifully reminds us that we must, every day, "let gravity pass through our hearts /into memory / into music."---
