THE BROOKLYN RAIL REVIEWS ED FOSTER
Click on excerpt below for Jeffrey Cyphers Wright's review of Ed Foster's What He Ought To Know -- congratulations to Ed!:
Solid gold—these poems are contemplative and rarified—they look back over the span of life from an elevated vantage. Knowledge, trust and truth are indicative of the subjects Edward Foster pursues in his lyric lines. Rigorous and taut, they maintain a weighty tone that produces a palpable persona. This persona, sage as he is, makes profound pronouncements. And he does so with precision and economy. The results feel solid, like they’ll be around for a long while—and fittingly, that sense of eternity is what’s addressed here.

STEVE FELLNER REVIEWED IN CURRENT MID-AMERICAN REVIEW
Steve Fellner's Blind Dave With Cavafy is reviewed in the current issue of Mid-American Review, Vol. XXVII, No. 2. Here's an excerpt:
The review was written by Paul Bissa.
Steve Fellner's Blind Dave With Cavafy is reviewed in the current issue of Mid-American Review, Vol. XXVII, No. 2. Here's an excerpt:
The poems here are right and well-wrought, edgy, and brilliantly-imagined. They are never dull, but they are consistently heart-breaking, which does make getting through it all a bit taxing. However, the individual poems are so well-composed and the collection of them as a unit so well-planned in terms of structure, idea and theme that in the end you hardly remember the bluer moments and are able to just take it all in and appreciate it -- like a blind date that's depressing but worth it for the story that you'll tell over and over again.
The review was written by Paul Bissa.

ARTVOICE REVIEW FOR STEVE FELLNER!

Congratulations, Steve!
Steve Fellner's Blind Date With Cavafy has received a lovely review from ARTVOICE. Click on the excerpt below for the full review:
Steve Fellner’s Blind Date with Cavafy is an accomplished collection of poems that balances humor and sadness with surprising agility and grace. Like a pro athlete, Fellner’s deceptively breezy, witty tone seems as effortless as breathing, but don’t be fooled: beneath the shticky, deadpan humor, poems like “Synesthesia” (where the narrator’s brother dolls out absurd compliments, such as when he critiques his mother’s new dress as “The sound of a waterfall doing the jitterbug with a harem of robins”) dip deep into wells of loneliness and alienation. Poem after poem is beaded together with a surprising mix of erudition and popular culture.
Congratulations, Steve!
