MONTREAL

Honoured, or should I say Honored, that one of the very best young American poets, Armen Davoudian, had these kind and incisive things to say about my book.

The legend himself, Ken Babstock, was kind enough to say some nice things about my book. The poems are Astonishing, Painful, Elegant, or A.P.E. for short.

Many thanks to the incredible Kayla Czaga for this generous blarb.

I am considering cancelling the release of my book because what does one write for if not validation, what is validation if not approval from those you admire, and who do I admire more than Carl Phillips @cphillipspoet.bsky.social who wrote this incredibly generous appreciation of the book...
