Here are some quotes off of the back cover:

Sturdy as fresh-built head frames, or trestles, or 5-wire-fences, these poems .each adorned with a gritty thumbprint as its coat of arms- are the work, the labors of love and loss, of one of the Last Best Place's finest poets. Mark Gibbons, like Hugo, teaches us how the blue-collar heart, punching in each day for another poetic triple shift, works up an honest sweat.
-- Paul Zarzyski

Mark Gibbons is titanically gifted. He knows the hidden secret of love is mortality. Connemara Moonshine is illuminated by love and light, as rich and intoxicating as its title.
-- Ed Lahey

There's lightning in these poems, and you cannot remain the same when it strikes.
-- Sheryl Noethe
