"Greinke's clarity lets the reader in to what is being said, making it possible to apply, or at least, relate to these ruminations... Open-mindedness of poets should at least be equivalent to that of musicians and painters. It is imperative for the growth of the poetic art that poets become more tolerant and eclectic readers, in deed." -- Irene Koronas, Wilderness House Literary Review

"Readers often mistakenly believe that to be good, poetry must be written with exquisite, complex language, almost like the trills and other flourishes decorating Baroque music. However, as prize-winning poet, publisher, essayist, social worker and philosopher, Eric Greinke explains, in poetry, the enchanting, decorative quality of language represents ideas. This is Greinke at his best, advocating at the cutting edge of human growth in consciousness and doing it with poetry." -- Ann Wehrman, Poetry Now

"For decades poet, small press innovator, and critic Eric Greinke has been working in poetry and with poetry, that is to say writing, publishing it, and probably most importantly, questioning the aesthetics that makes up the craft of verse, free or no." -- Scott Whitaker, The Broadkill Review

"Eric Greinke is a rare example of a small press poet who has followed in the tradition of Sydney, Shelley and Pound by addressing the question of what poetry is all about. His ideas are clearly bound to his own practice, and yet he is capable of sufficient generalization to go right to the heart of literature. What are we doing and why? He has come up with his own answers based on a lifetime in the trenches of art, and his testimony is invaluable, if not the last word." -- William Seaton, Home Planet News
