“Reading Z.G. Tomaszewski’s All Things Dusk is to be re-united with every universe and atom of existence. These lyrical prayers emerge from when, as the poet writes, ‘the self is still.’ In Tomaszewski’s vision of a shattered Eden, there is transcendence of and immersion in all that is with us. The paradoxes comfort, sustain, and restore awe’s truth.”
—Jack Ridl, author of Broken Symmetry (recipient of the Society of Midland Authors Award for Poetry), Losing Season, and Practicing to Walk Like a Heron (chosen for the poetry gold medal by Foreword Reviews).
 
“Bravely opening with a poem titled ‘The Soul,’ Z.G. Tomaszewski then gives us a rural landscape where pond, dragonfly, a bat’s wing, a mountain are transformed, made new with the magic of his imagery. Here is the mark of a true poet, who sees the Big Bang in a chrysanthemum stone, wants to become the coyote’s howl, the seed in the pine cone, to pinch light from a darkness even as he also wants this darkness. All Things Dusk is an extraordinary, timeless work.”
—Patricia Fargnoli, author of Winter and Then, Something
