"Poetry. "More and more while judging this contest I found myself drawn to Martin Ott's CAPTIVE and compelled to read and re-read the pages. No explanatory notes, no stanza breaks to ease the way, no gimmicks or prettiness of form. Instead, consistently tough, unwavering poems displaying a wide knowledge of the world its brutality and beauty and a keen, appreciative eye on the hard-won pleasures of the personal and private. I encourage t ..."
"Poetry. "You've stumbled upon the best travelogue you'll ever find...a book for the ages, and for our age and place." Laura Kasischke"The tag-team poetry of Buckley and Ott is as much a kin to the works of John Ashbery and Edward Field as it is to the radio skits of George Burns and Gracie Allen. Their euphonious cacophony of wordplay, ingenious turn-of-phrase concoctions, and steady stream of pop/cross-cultural references create an eru ..."

"In this raucous follow-up to their highly praised debut of collaborative poetry, POETS' GUIDE TO AMERICA, Buckley & Ott set their sights on our relationship with TV.
