Flying over Tasmania: Poems

"Steven Ablon brings to his poetry an admirable openness to diverse experience. He carries the reader right along with him wherever in the wide world he travels. His emotional accessibility matches his openness to experience, and it is this quality that makes us feel he is speaking directly to us of the mysteries of the human heart. Dr. Ablon is the ideal guide when one is 'flying over Tasmania.'as n t he title poem, as well as when one is visiting the diverse locales evoked in this book. It is, however, the human warmth, the feeling for people, that one caries away from time spent with this fine book of poetry." -Richard Tillinghast, Professor of English, University of Michigan
