"Poetry is a music of the soul, an art of the mind brought out into the world through the medium of the written and the spoken word. Poetry can move the heart, invoke the memory, inspire the imagination, inflame the emotions, bring ease to the troubled, and rest to the weary. Brooke Horvath's anthology of his poetry as contained within the pages of Consolation At Ground Zero is an outstanding example of the poem as literature and the poem as a testament to the human spirit, experience, and imagination. Consolation At Ground Zero will reward its readers with poems that have been crafted by one who is a master of language and the verbal music of human communication."

| Praise for Consolation at Ground Zero |
"This collection reminds us that lasting experiences, those that make us who we are, are those we often take for granted. Whether set abroad or in the backyard, whether dealing with strangers or with family, the generous poems of Consolation at Ground Zero offer consolation for life's contradictions. Horvath allows us to experience his subjects fully, surprising us with the quotidian splendors and sorrows. Even when most familiar, these poems take us to unexpected places. Horvath's method is unflinching honesty, uncompromising craft, and a willingness to engage life fully." ,. ...................................

"In these poems people, places and things shine as if newly made."
