Praise for Adam & Eve Go to the Zoo

"Jason Gray writes with great precision. The words precisely
chosen, the wit precisely incisive, the rhymes precisely
balanced or unbalanced, and all this precision takes us deeper
and deeper into a passion that is anything but precise, except
in its delineation. The pleasures of Adam & Eve Go to the Zoo
are the pleasures of a poet of great vision adjusting his
eyes to seeing, as best he can, in the dark that we all live in.
The book is a superb achievement."—Andrew Hudgins

"With excellent craft and a praiseful calm coupled with quietly
passionate hope for humanity's ever-raising conscience, Jason
Gray's lyrical verse delivers the reader into a place of bright
possibility. Like his 'Red Panda' balancing itself on a branch
as 'the wind sways and the landscape shifts,' this poet knows
the world's gravity and yet is not pulled down by it. Adam &
Eve Go to the Zoo is an extraordinarily mature and striking
first collection." —C. J. Sage
