"One need not be a passionate conservationist or lover of animals to be charmed by Cooper's admiration of them. The awe he feels in 'The Turtles of La Escobilla' for the turtles' unstoppable life force in the face of human cruelty runs deeper than an environmentalist's tantrum. And that, in the end, is the deep place where only poetry can go. Beyond the topical and beyond the political into the eternal. Cooper's poems are all tickets to that deep place." Stephen D. Chandler
