REVIEWS:
“Sandler is a poet’s poet and has the publication credits to vouch for his talents. His language is layered with meaning, and his expansive vocabulary will delight logophiles. There is no subject too small for his keen eye and insight. His imagery... is evocative and bright. Sandler deftly toggles among nostalgic memory, historical analysis, and present-moment wonder without sacrificing cohesiveness... A complex, electric work of erudite poems.”
“These works linger in the mind long after their reading... At once chilling, revealing, and poetically powerful, The Lamps of History represents a worthy, enlightening collection that will delight those who look for more than a simple expression of personal experience. It is a delight to recommend to poetry audiences seeking depth and superior imagery.”
