About Landscape with Mutant:

"A didactic and cynical voice… gives the poems their bite, but also creates the tension a lot of the work relies upon for impact."
—Damfino

"This is a great secret of his verse: he is always pushing the envelope of the image to find the after-image of the thing itself."
—Robert McDowell

"What appeals to me most however, perhaps strangely, is an impression ofambiguity and illusion that I felt the more I read and re-read."
—Sentinel Literary Quarterly
