- "taxi driver is in my top three favourite films...I am thrilled to see the quote. there is an overwhelming sense of degradation and dampness in the atmospheres, integral to the storysettings, a longing in your heart, a modern gothika where memories and histories are turned to ghosts who are not quite there but you can always sense them.. the highway life, the transient soul, the way things remain through time and distance."

- "OK, that "3rd reincarnation, possibly more" teeny disclaimer at the end makes me expect this one not to stay constant, but anyway...comment time! Excellent journey; as usual, you compel and weave marvellous intricacies, and you use juxtaposition so very well... I loved "The air swollen with salt moisture and rainbow gasolene" and "paradigms & diagrams" especially, but it's hard to single out moments when this really works much better as an entirety. And you have such a great feel for conclusion. I've lost count of how many times I've thought the closing line/s of your work to be the best moment/s; this is an awesome thing.
Basically...I loved it. :D"

- "Thanks, but yea, I write most of my works the way any writer should - w/ plenty of backup. Sometimes I get cybersucked into writing on-line, w/ DP (my own fault & not the 1st time but maybe what it was, wasn't right). cheers."

- "I suppose the good thing is that jay z might bring new fans to u2, maybe that's the reasoning, I don't like either but hope you enjoy it"

- "do you write the poems with the dp notepad?..you should write on your computer and then copy and paste into dp as, if your internet connection is lost, or you press backspace by accident; you could lose your work, i use msword with autosave set to every five mins, you could download openoffice.org if you dont have msword as its just as good- id hate to think that your words could become lost"

- "Many thanks, Anth... part 2 got sucked into DP cyberspace even though I SAVED. Ugh, I'm miffed. C'est la vie, eh? I'm off to see U2 tomorrow night (9th time; 2nd in OZ); always a v. good show. There's something they do live that is never captured in the studio... sadly Jay Z is the intro act, makes no sense at all - last time they had Kenya West; ridiculous! All prior 7 shows U2 had the perfect bands, like The Pixies once; Sinead O'Connor another... some really great acts that made sense for the style of music. Not this rap crap. Cheers!"

- "To add further to what Anth mentioned about specific placement..the first two lines of the second main stanza are fantastic. The second line in particular, with a use of double alliteration on soft consonants...that's tricky right there. I'm keen on the idea too..."the journey" ...as cliched a metaphor as it is, it still rings true. Praxis, I guess we could call it...we can look in any direction, but really only travel in one."

- "wonderful write, I truly enjoyed reading it, so many subtly clever moments that just seem to come so natural to you, it makes us stop and think of it were as you might of rolled it off like jazz, at the same time some parts feel so well thought out for maximum effect and superior placement that it belies the rate at which you post, i especially liked how the hotels, highways changes dwindled back down to its simplest at the end.. apart from the guttural technicality though this was both calming and joyful to read "

- "I have been reading this over and over for the last few days, It is as much like listening to music as reading a poem in the rhythms and atmosphere it has, elegant, calming, lyrical, clever and transient, one of my favourite poems in quite a while"

- "Jon, Jon...Pure 100% distilled through the poetic lense....Jon. This reads as though inspired by the famous Bob Dylan quote about Dylan not knowing who that person he once was back in the 60s etc. Love it :) "

- "to get away from their love-hole... nicely done... a well written piece as usual with plenty of cool thoughts between the lines... thank-you "

- "I have always been a huge admirer of yours. Everything you write seems effortless, as if poetry is your first, natural language. You always leave me awestruck and reeling with images/memories I never thought I had. I thought I'd finally say something about it since I feed on words like yours. Much respect, Nuri."

- "Captivating write, this - reflective, thought-provoking, compelling; images of the wanton & wandering wasted, desiring of majesty and brilliance but somehow getting it all tarnished and twisted and dirty somehow, in urban wildernesses, wanting the romance, finding the loss. "

- "Bloody awesome " poem" , the visuals of happenings here sick and tainted. Half obscure..the lost in time city life of night creatures you see slivering down streets like stray cats on full moon night skies.. Shadowy like the alleys and corners.. The broken hearted wasting the lives away slowly letting ?themselves drip deep into some forgotten black.. It will be the death of them.. Such fagotty fools with slit sleeves.. The red mixed in with the powdery substances of absence and synthetic.. More than a nice write..?
