About Adam & Eve Go to the Zoo:

"Jason Gray writes with great precision. The words precisely chosen, the wit precisely incisive, the rhymes precisely balanced or unbalanced, and all this precision takes us deeper and deeper into a passion that is anything but precise, except in its delineation. The pleasures of Adam & Eve Go to the Zoo are the pleasures of a poet of great vision adjusting his eyes to seeing, as best he can, in the dark that we all live in. The book is a superb achievement."
—Andrew Hudgins

"With excellent craft and a praiseful calm coupled with quietly passionate hope for humanity's ever-raising conscience, Jason Gray's lyrical verse delivers the reader into a place of bright possibility. Like his 'Red Panda' balancing itself on a branch as 'the wind sways and the landscape shifts,' this poet knows the world's gravity and yet is not pulled down by it. Adam & Eve Go to the Zoo is an extraordinarily mature and striking first collection."
—C. J. Sage
