“With a gentle tone and a sharp eye, the poems of John Cuetara’s Regrets Only examine both the perplexity and the beauty inherent in human relationships. Cuetara meticulously observes the lives of friends, fathers, mothers, wives, and neighbors, then tallies both price we pay for, and the gains we reap from, genuine human connection. While Regrets Only wisely cautions us about our relational frailties, it also keenly celebrates the admirable, if at times flawed, humanity of our connectedness.”
