"Philip Butera glides, rides, manipulates, caresses, seduces and inhabits language. While his images and phrasing appear complex and constant, he manages to be clear and concise with both. To call him anything short of a verbal genius would be a denial of his unparalleled ownership of the richest of all languages."
