Praise for I Love Hearing Your Dreams "Filled with the anguish of clinging to joy in a deeply troubled world. In a typically plaintive poem, he writes, "Today I just want to look / and think and be quiet / and figure out how / things I do can matter." On some level, that's what we all want. Zapruder expresses those desires we recognize but could never have articulated ourselves."
–Washington Post "Elegiac and ebullient . . . Zapruder delivers a work of remarkable wit and disciplined emotional attentiveness."
–Publishers Weekly (starred review) "These poems are irresistibly original; they feel as strange and true as life itself."
–Maggie Smith, author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful "Have you ever held a book, but knew secretly you were holding a mountain? Or maybe your heart felt like the future galloping in your chest after reading a passage so visceral and full of magic, or so faithfully human it was like you wanted all the words in the world to go home and to leave these poems forever ringing in your ear? That was me when I first encountered, I Love Hearing Your Dreams, a startling book, a resuscitating vision."
–Major Jackson, author of Razzle Dazzle and host of "The Slowdown" "These poems capture the most mysterious quality of dreams: their mingling of absurdity and clarity that can sometimes reverberate into waking hours."
