Reviews:

This is a fine collection that seeks to explore power, politics and love. Sometimes these elements work for the common good but often they fall short through human weakness and greed and it is the poorest in society, those in most need, who suffer as a result.

-Neil Leadbeater, The Microbibliophile, Vol. XL, No. 6, Issue 234, November 2021 (full review available online at The Halo-Halo Review, 2022)

“I was so enamoured with  your use of language – you have a natural storytelling gift! With that said, my favorite poems are “Smoke Taint,” “Shooting Haiku,” “Melt Up!,” and “Halcyon  Days in the Anthropocene”–all spoke to me. Finally, I loved the use of ideas from the “Professor and the Madman”! [Also,] physically, the book feels wonderful in my hands: the touch of the black velvet and the gorgeous marbled papers!”

-Nina Mazzo, miniature book collector and publisher
