From review by Lina Ferreira: "In Thirsty for the Joy: Australian & American Voices, Brian Doyle captures "salty and graceful stories" told to him mostly "in streets and lanes and alleys," as he wanders through Australia and then America. The book is an elegant arrangement of these commonplace narrations into beautiful "fact-poems" that, despite line breaks and lyrical elements, remain-through unelaborated and familiar language-wonderfully accessible."
