- "OMG I LOVE IT. What a magnificently written piece. This "Somewhere along the way God exploded into illegal things" is awesome, and it's far from alone. This is brilliantly crafted, clever, witty, engaging, original and if I don't have a bookmark spare, I'm deleting stuff until I do. The soft, understated conclusion is all the more powerful for its restraint; outstanding, you, all of it."

- "wistful and enveloping, winding journey that asks for more than one quick foray down its streets. the last three lines of stanza 3 are particularly evocative and effective in bringing tangible depth; simply, beautifully written. reflection and introspection throughout, thoughtful and enveloping, and its understated conclusion marvellously done. (Tinytypo thingy - stanza 4 opens a bracketed segment but never closes it...)"

- "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"

- "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. "
