        Poetry Reviews

      Andrea Moorhead, Editor, Osiris (1992)
      Thank you for submitting to Osiris. We are keeping Härte and Irdische Landschaft for publication in Osiris 34 (July 1992). ... I find the work striking -- the language is taut, forceful & marvelously evocative. Our German Editor said about Härte -- "it creates potent expressionist mood." He was especially drawn to the unique imagery and well crafted sound patterns in Irdische Landschaft."

      Sarah A. Jensen, Editor, Atelier (1992)
      Thank you for submitting your poems to atelier. As you can see by the enclosed, we selected three of them for December issue. Your work is some of the best we have received in the two years of publishing the magazine.

      Robert Dassanowsky-Harris, Co-Editor, Rohwedder (1991)
      The poetry form "Miniaturen" are especially publishable now, and in style, although some from "Tönungen" are equally strong. I am astonished that nobody has wanted to "touch them."
