A Handbook for Alchemists |
In this poetry collection we find something new : the poet’s originality and capacity for profound emotions. It has been aptly remarked by Longinus that true emotion in the right place inspires the words. The most impressive quality of these poems is that the poet is able to fill the reader’s mind with illumination, which is the mark of genius and the guarantee of truth.

A NOTE on the DOOR |
I’ve been reading Dale Ritterbusch’s writing for 40 years now, and each new collection of his only deepens my respect for his skill as a writer and his sensibilities as a human being. In this collection, he takes us from the Himalayas to the River of Perfumes, from the Louvre to the ice age kettles and moraines of his native Wisconsin, from the bathtub to dark matter. He moves effortlessly between home repairs and Herman Melville, antique chandeliers and faithless newlyweds, his efforts to save snakes from getting crushed on bike paths and the ingratitude of the snakes, the perils and pleasures of aging, the ironies inherent in being who we are. These short prose pieces possess so many qualities of good poetry that the boundary between the two all but vanishes. What remains is a great-hearted man who, in spite of all that life has thrown at him, remains capable of love, tenderness, decency, and hope. W. D. Ehrhart, author of The Madness of it All

Adrift In A Sea Of Woe: The Collective Works - A Five Part Collection |
To all those who walk the mists of foggy worlds we can't get enough of…I welcome you.
The gloom, to many more of us than is realized, is comforting.
That melancholy shade is a place where we can escape the burning stings of life, the sadness that heat and sun brings us…offering us refuge and safety…
From a world that doesn't understand us.

Arc of the Sun |
This highly original collection of 47 lyrical and narrative poems is written around two themes – unknowingness and transcendence. It begins with the short poem “Prelude,” which describes a universe where all is in motion and of humans “knowing neither where we journey/ nor why/ but looking to the arc of the sun/ and grateful for its rising.” The final poem is “the Dante Tattoo” which concludes with the transcendent -- “this unexpected glimpse/ from Dante’s more perfect and far-seeing vista.” It includes powerful and moving poems, as well as surprising lyrical pieces about nothing more than the happiness of being alive.

Breaking |
The poems included in this poetry collection reveal the poet’s simplicity, depth of emotions and fecundity. The style of the poet is colloquial and conversational. All poems are technically accomplished. The poet shows a remarkable quality of creating fact and feeling into impressive words. The power and precision of the diction used in these poems is quite admirable.

Diaspora - Poems - 15 Collections |
“There are many ways that William Heyen could be described as a poet of subjects: the Holocaust, for example; ecology and the environment; American ‘manifest destiny’ and the resulting Native American genocide. These are not happy topics, by any stretch of the imagination. Still, one does not choose one’s obsessions…. He never seems able to let himself, or any of his readers, for that matter, rest in a willed blindness in regards to the atrocities, the violence, the countless cruelties that exist everywhere and at all times, whether we look or not…. I call it ‘relentless’ in Heyen’s case because decades working on poems that touch on the most horrific things of which the human race is capable takes more than stamina. Wouldn’t every aspect of one’s conscience seek to avoid probing the depths of such trauma? Despite it all, despite the fact that other writers would have looked away, Heyen keeps writing, keeps stepping back into those places most people would want to avoid. I have wondered if it is his faith in poetry that drives him to take on such a task—his faith that poetry can acknowledge atrocity, can find its language, and by the process of acknowledging come to redeem language.
“In all his poems, book after book, page after page, he keeps burrowing into details—details drawn from unspeakably beautiful ordinariness (a redwing blackbird, for example) to horrifically destructive ugliness (the smell of burning hair, for example)—to publish the fraught, complex Nature and Diaspora of human life on this planet. That singular attention gives the proof of his fixed and focused relentlessness, evidence enough to trust Heyen’s unblinking gaze.”
