"There are three kinds of poets. The easily dismissed wannabes. The earnest fine word slingers who for myriad reasons have a hard time using the P Words on themselves. And the brilliantly brazen few who know their life's mission is to climb the mountain and show the world I AM A POET. Splake is one of the brillantly few, and his poems never stop proving it." -- Robert M. Zoschke, Editor of The Lowdown

"t. kilgore splake continues to provoke an unusual and thought-provoking brand of poetry." -- James A. Cox, The Midwest Book Review
