Reviews of Sugartown

“David Rivard’s marvelous new book, Sugartown, moves through familiar material, like the way a good mood and a good memory can make life seem rich and even death nearly acceptable….These street-wise, book-wise, eloquent poems have a bracing sureness and scope.” —Washington Post Book World

“Jazz rhythms and capital-R Romantic hopes infuse Rivard’s fourth collection.” —Publishers Weekly
