"[Baker] captures the everyday in all its surreal repetition."

- Chicago Tribune,

"Baker craft[s]...lyrical moments from the patient observation of landscape and animal life...such moments possess that rare ability to delight and provoke."

- Harvard Review,

"Surprising yet compelling....A mature poet with a keen eye."

- Weekly Standard,

Midwest Eclogue is a profound dialogue between the heartland and the heart. David Baker's devotions are erotic and familial, natural and environmental, literary and social. Inspired by the landscape of the Midwest, Baker's landscape of human passions—haunted by roots and wings—is rendered in a rich and polyphonic craft.
