"Jason Baldinger and James Benger's Little Fires Hiding offers glances into alternate realities, into what might have been, not only for Baldinger and Benger, but the assortment of working class characters who occupy their world. To use a phrase from one of Baldinger's pieces in the collection, they are birds who've contemplated the higher branches of the tree, probably more than a few times. Like many of us, they never quite get there, but their poems do, and like the sunlight, they cast a certain amount of beauty on the respective cities that these these two gifted poets, choose, quite happily, to call home and even though they're separated by many miles, they come together seamlessly."
--John Dorsey, Author of Damsels in Detroit
