Praise for Robert M. Chute's work:

Samuel Sewell Sails for Home:
"Robert Chute's ear and eye for detail, the mastery of his craftsmanship
and the intelligence of his choice among the diaries, make this an exemplary
work. This is poetry of great clarity, lyric power and subtlety."

~ Charles Simic ~

Woodshed on the Moon: Thoreau Poems
"...poems, inspired by the poet's quest to understand Thoreau, once more prove
Robert M. Chute to be one of the finer poets still writing in New England."

~ X. J. Kennedy ~

Thirteen Moons
"...it is encouraging to see a poet still willing to undertake a project of this scope,
and heartening to find how well he has brought it off. Everyone interested in Maine
history or Maine poetry will be able to get something from this book."
