"onto your poetry i LOVE it fixing the roof, hierarchy of the seagulls, tell the wife, the old guys hated me - i could really go on and on anthony. you captured a moment, a feeling and i have not read such raw and real poetry in some time. I know we separated by a few generations (I am 31) but you really capture what is missing from the alleged poets and those who are suspected of being poets that I have any contact with say they are all about. CANNED is a wonderful book that is relevant today tomorrow yesterday, yesteryear - as for me, i will be keeping the copy of CANNED ... in my bag (which I take everywhere with me) so I can re-read it and share with others. I don't usually praise many writers - in fact I think most are self indulgent sots who care nothing about the medium - but this is great work."
And another:
"Your poetry is the best journalism I’ve read in quite some time. I am about halfway through the book (I was reading it over breakfast on my screened porch this morning) and my favorite so far is “Forced Out,” with that spinning wheel – my situation almost exactly."
