- "Notebooks out, class is in session. Flawless! Compelling in its reading; crisp and taut in its structure. A perfect blossom dipped in gold displayed on a crystal shelf. Magnifico!!!"

- " Well my friend... What can I say, you have raised the bar yet again. This desert you speak of here would seem a place where both bodies and souls may travel to, only to return, somehow, for better or worse, but most certainly, changed."

- "Your unique use and command of language is unsurpassed. You are able to so fluidly move from scene to scene that the reader is completely unaware of the transition. Making the whole experience a single cohesive flow; a pouring liquid experience."

- "Now THAT is story telling. Told in poetic verse. With even the most mundane of details sparkling like sunlight on the bay.

- "It is my guess, that to truly understand this poem, one would need a mistress and dictionary."

- "There is something so natural in the way that you wrote this. It made me feel this is how we should speak always. Because your words, charged with emotion, passed through the filters of flesh and illusion directly to my soul. Where they changed who I am."

- "Perhaps you are the bastard child of Mr. Cohen... Either way, there is something here that speaks of him. And that is as high a compliment as this existence allows me.

- "The last few lines cut straight through this dream to the heart and the bone. I am not sure if the world is ready for genius such as yours, but I am grateful that I am here to witness it."

- "You skull split open with an ax; genius escaping from the wound like glowing steam; the flash of a camera bulb; a moment, a memory, a facet of Fish frozen in time.

- "I had to read this about 10 times before I could comment on it. The last 4 lines just left me in awe of you. This poem has roots that extend into the very nature and fabric of our existence."

- "I was unaware of this talented corner of your mind. I really dig it. Post more if you have any.

- "This does not have the grit of most of your work. It has grandeur and majesty. It weaves history, mythology, nature and religion into a cohesive fabric of metaphor. Moving from one to the other with omniscient grace.

- "Like French, a language I do not understand, but can still wholly appreciate the beauty of, your mysterious words stand alone as art. But even more than just gorgeous words here, you unlock within my mind ancient truths and rapture.

- "This is a pure pleasure for me. I have already read it several times. For me at least, this is one of your more accessible poems. You set our ever quickening descent into a world that would shame the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah to an ultra hip back beat. "
