Praise for The Number Before Infinity, Poems by ZACK ROGOW Reading Zack Rogow’s The Number Before Infinity, I was reminded of young Neruda’s love poems; here is that passion, tempered and informed by the briars and grace of marriage and family. — Cornelius Eady

Very few poets have the courage to open themselves as fully as Zack Rogow does as he pours out, in passionate poetry, the story of a love affair and the family fallout it radiates. These poems are hot, honest, propelled by the skill of a first-rate worker in words to serve what William Carlos Williams said poetry was all about—feeling. Any reader who opens this extraordinary book and begins reading won’t put it down. That’s a guarantee.

— Bill Zavatsky
