- "I came by your page on the off chance you'd been back here in the years since I last visited . . . this was like finding the last piece of chocolate at the bottom of the basket. This was deliciously vicious. Love, love. It's like, I knew all these words before, but when you use them, you paint them into life. "

- "I love this one. It's so incredibly true. Especially in our time of Picasa linking to GoogleEarth, and you can basically see the entire world without leaving your apartment or even putting on pants. These days, I think I too am more likely to be surprised by a weed than by a famous landmark. This might explain why most of my trip photography ends up being of random doorknobs."

- "I read and re-read your poems quite frequently (whenever I get back to DP after an absence), but I almost never leave a comment. Because . . . what is there to say? You are one of the few poets (on DP and generally) whose work I can just get lost in. I never feel the need to find a bit that sticks out, because it's all so integral. Just wanted to say, thanks for being around."

- "Why was I not surprised when, after reading this wonderful, whimsical, wise piece, I scrolled up and saw your name? A beautiful, effortlessly well-crafted work, charming, witty and insightful. The last lines are a perfect punchline to this joke-that-isn't. Thank you :)"

- "I love this, like everyone else. So simple, and straightforward and personal, nothing shocking, nothing overblown - just measured, dignified and beautiful. Thank you, I needed this today."
