2.0 out of 5 stars A Frost/Welty Plagiarist Minus their Talent.
Visual and philosophical ideas adopted from both writers are served with a large dollop of ordinary poetic skills. Mediocracy at its best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly moving, August 15, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Long Distance: Poems (The Miami University Press Poetry Series) (Paperback)
Just a gorgeous piece, lovely work. I was some impressed with the author's use of language and imagery. Truly stunning.

I find myself picking it up again, from time to time, to reread passages.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Bitter, January 12, 2003

This review is from: Long Distance: Poems (The Miami University Press Poetry Series) (Paperback)
It seemed like the entire book was about bitterness in people's lives. It was very depressing to read. I threw it out.
