“These poems transpire in moonlight, bending but not  breaking. Rarely has a writer so thoroughly described the abrasion of his spirit. Childhood, the homeplace, even the lover’s body are drawn relentlessly into a maelstrom of injury and loss. And yet the poet is paradoxically astonished by the beauty and grandeur of this damaging life. Verging on a dream, McGriff’s poems in Black Postcards achieve an authentic rural American surrealism.” - John Witte
