Advance praise for One Steady Glance:
“One of the greatest joys of life is spending time with art which invites you to spend time with your emotions by reflecting on someone else’s experiences. Jeff Price’s book of poetry is such a dalliance. From cars to Camelot, high school wrestling and the highest of lifeforms—the dog, Price’s One Steady Glance uses content and craft to allow readers to indulge in beautiful poetry while learning more about their own journey.”
—Russell Minatel, colleague and friend
“One might be forgiven for calling Jeff Price a warrior poet--while complimentary, it doesn’t do justice to the full weight One Steady Glance evokes in the reader’s spirit.Price’s verse is an immersion in all the sins and grace, pettiness and nobility, strength and weakness, anger and love, the sadness and gratitude, and the struggles and joys of a life, not perfect or great, but rather lived greatly in its imperfections--and through those perfect imperfections, the reader might just find the forgiveness, hope, and inspiration to find the warrior and poet within themselves.”
—Will Koella, friend and former student
