"In Always Alwaysland it seems each poem has been searching
for a master architect and wordsmith with deep feeling and practice
to say it right. The profound and mischievous topics seem to be
saying to a foreboding modern reality that Stanley Moss, a mature
poet who dares to get the questions and the answers right, that the
masterplan engages only true feeling in a state of playful
wisdom."
