About The Abundance of Nothing:

"This collection is shaped by a seer fully initiated in the affairs of the heart and mind, physically and metaphysically, always guiding the reader through a maze of instructive paths, always gazing into the hellish, heavenly mechanics of life and death, but never forgetting to evoke compassion.... Personal, universal, and pastoral, this great American poet always connects—whether the heart or the mind, the real or the imagined."
—Yusef Komunyakaa

"Courageous, insistent, expressing both conviction and doubt, Bruce Weigl's new poems of war and Ohio open up ideas and feelings at the edge of what one can grasp. His focus is dilemmas of awareness—of suffering and of the sheer wonder of survival. He writes of mortality and of blessedness, of violence and of a reverence for peace and calm. Over his long and extraordinary artistic career, Weigl has remained responsive to ceaseless change, and in this book, too, he finds, as he has always done, language for our full inhabiting of life—no matter what."
