"For Tom Jay, language is a territory to be inhabited, 'an atmosphere, a climate.' To the reader, Jay provides a compass for locating the human soul in the landscape, as part of the landscape’s own soul. I recommend Tom Jay’s writing unreservedly to all young poets ('Language is naturally erotic,a nearly forgotten form of love, the caress of shaped breath.'), to those prose writers who have yet to become cynical ('Language is the habitat of revelation, yet language will lie if forced to do our bidding.'), and to naturalists inclined to use their studies to define their home." --Freeman House
