Summary: I'm amazed at his originality and surreal yet lucid images.
Review: I'm rarely excited by most unknown poets, but am amazed at Dean Kostos' originality and extraordinary voice, and his wealth of surreal yet lucidly accurate images. And not least his sure- footed storytelling. He seems to have an inexhaustible imagination used with a formalist technique and rightness of tone and observation.

Summary: A Stunningly Crafted Collection! A Must Read!
Review: Like the parade of faces on a stone frieze, this wordsmith carves out each poem with careful attention to detail and language. But the poet does not limit his literary space to his Greek ancestry, there are many cultures connecting here like that of the French surrealists, the Italian poetic forms and a list of American icons that contribute to a complex chorus of superb images. Challenging to read and pleasing to the ear.
