'Kirk Judd combines 3-D images and powerful rhythm and rhyme to perfectly express his subjects-birth and death, songs and silence, and everything in between. With compassion and wisdom, he provides for readers and listeners a man-sized, blood-warming antidote to the frequently encountered negative stereotype of his beloved Appalachia. In short, Kirk Judd is not only a poet’s poet; he’s a people’s poet.' --Barbara Smith'This is true poetry without the pretense of thin poesy. These are unvarnished words that hang like weightless images in front of your consciousness. This is poetry from someplace deeper than the heart. (Kirk Judd) can reach far inside more quickly than anyone I know.' --Lee Maynard'A wise poet knows to choose his epigraph well and when Kirk Judd chooses Louise McNeill’s verse to launch his own words, I knew there would be smooth, sweet sailing ahead. Known to many as a superior raconteur, these poems reflect Judd’s ease with that kind of familiar banter. Not to say that Judd doesn’t take risks here. Few poets these days would fearlessly drape their poems with the grit of dialect, but he does and with a success that should make readers come away with a closer experience of West Virginia and its people.' --Marc Harshman - WV Poet Laureate

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
