About On the Way to Putnam:

"Brad Davis knows 'that we have made a 'mess of things,' and does not believe he can make it right. But from start to finish in his wonderful On the Way to Putnam, Davis has 'faith enough to do the next thing / and hope.' Language is a gift, a form of grace, and for Davis, poems are a 'momentary fling under a generous sun,' his every word aimed, without aiming, at the sanctity of our lives.'"
—Robert Cording
