“Back when I had a PO box I used to get all sorts of stuff from people who’d read my books: letters, rants, threats,poems and stories and some things even I couldn’t classify. Most of it was the ramblings of disturbed minds (ah, my fans!)but this BLIND GRAVE ROBBER stuck out from the rest like Miles Davis at an insurance salesmen’s convention. Not bad, not bad at all.”—Raegan Butcher, author of Siege of Station 19

“Michigan remains a weird place full of beauty and sorrow. The state is well-known for its continued economic decline. Yet anybody from Michigan knows about the wonderful moving snows it has, the natural beauty, the goodness of people, America’s heartland. For those fortunate enough to know it well they wish the best for it that one day it will stop being the underachiever and begin to meet the challenge the world set out for it. Until then it exports its people across the country hoping for new shoots of old roots”—

‘The poems in here made me feel a little bit like I was inside of a Western. But, like, a Western that takes place somewhere cold. It’s a harsh world that this author creates.”—

“Poetry chapbook by this young American poet. I hope you know that I love poets. I really do. But this is a fine example of where ordinary prose is somehow sculpted into poetry by a liberal bashing of the return key. As prose it is curious enough, little notes here and there on Benazir Bhutto, bullying, old maps, famous dead guys drinking liquor and a good poem on number. All in all a great read and a promising chapbook – look this feller up for more information.”—
