Praise for the collection

"Louis Simpson has perfect pitch. His poems win us first by their drama, their ways of voicing our ways . . . of making do with our lives. Then his intelligence cajoles us to the brink of a cliff of solitude and we step over into the buoyant element of true poetry . . . People Live Here is full of poems that are already secure in the canon of American poetry."  —Seamus Heaney  

"Mr. Simpson is that rare thing, a poet who is as good as they say."                   —Christopher Ricks

"The poetry of Louis Simpson seems to me extraordinarily beautiful and complex . . . it demonstrates an engagement with the vicissitudes and antinomies of American life in the sixties and seventies that is equal to the best we have, and . . . may even possess a greater, quieter power of staying because it is extremely accessible."  —Dave Smith, The American Poetry Review
