Praise for Station Zed :   "[Sleigh] seamlessly and imaginatively weaves together history, mythology, and autobiography to form a collection that feels personal and prophetic. Sleigh never fails to produce beautiful lines.  Narrative and wandering, Sleigh's poems welcome readers ready to venture into the unknown." - Publishers Weekly   "I read plenty of great poetry this year . but my favorite was Tom Sleigh's Station Zed , a profound, sometimes uncomfortably incisive book. Sleigh's essay for Poetry Magazine on the WWI writers Wilfred Owen and David Jones is brilliant, and this book is the proof that he lives up to theoretical challenges he poses in that essay for anybody daring to write about conflict zones. Just as good are the non-war poems. I just finished it, but have been carrying it around with me because I keep needing to go back to reread poems.


" -Phil Klay, author of Redeployment   "Station Zed , Tom Sleigh's ninth and best book to date.is one of the dialectics that poetry needs now if it's to lay the ground for its future.  Its vital presence in Sleigh's work will make his new book one of the necessary publications of 2015." - On the Seawall   Praise for Tom Sleigh   "Tom Sleigh's poetry is hard-earned and well founded. I greatly admire the way it refuses to cut emotional corners and yet achieves a sense of lyric absolution." -Seamus Heaney   "Sleigh has been publishing formidable poetry for almost thirty years, and among American poets of his generation there is no one better." -David Wojahn, Tikkun   "An indispensable contemporary American poet." - The Boston Globe "What delights me most is seeing a poet of [Sleigh's] accomplishments and his large and well-earned reputation .


pushing into greatness." -Philip Levine, Ploughshares.
