“In Finding Water, Holding Stone, Bertolino’s voice is assured, his language so dexterous the craft is almost invisible. He is part-sage, part-priest, part-naturalist, part-trapeze artist who moves with the greatest of ease.” ––Denise Duhamel

“The poems here, suffused with the mysterious strength of wounds and the tender gravity of love, are presided over by an eye that penetrates whatever fixes its gaze, and a faultless ear for the music therein.” —David Rigsbee
