"When You’re Deep in a Thing is a book of gorgeous immediacy and depth. You can enter a poem as you might walk into your bedroom; it can open spaces like the night sky. The title poem accesses the human core so swiftly, so quietly, so honestly—our isolation and connection in a breath—as I write this, I want to read it again. . . . When You’re Deep in a Thing isn't just beautiful—it's courageous and necessary." - D. Nurkse
"Anthony Cappo’s voice is distinctly American—with Springsteen’s fondness for storytelling and O’Hara’s playful juxtaposition of images, the poems in When You’re Deep in a Thing are steeped in loss and desire. . . .While fully acknowledging the cruel vicissitudes of time, aging, religion, and politics, there is an enduring hunger for life in this work." - Jennifer Franklin
