520			_aAlfred A. Yuson's trademark macho wordplay delights once more in a collection that bites, but tenderly. Intoxicated by women, his personae map a graceful arc from tormented adoration, to lovelorn sparring, to the serene recognition of the woman as reflection, as mirror. Hairtrigger Loves telescopes the history of a heart into fifty poems that cast a solemn eye on loves-contemplated, labored, savored, lost-and achieves, in the woe-man's discovery of the power to speak plainly, a sort of rueful majesty. -Vince Groyon. Hairtrigger Loves, bringing together Alfred A. Yuson's musings on love, and the loss thereof, from four decades of dealing in native nectar and trading in mermaids, shows us a master wordsmith in great shape, at work and wondrous wordplay. -Jose F. Lacaba.
