Critic reviews

"There is but one Benjamin DeCasseres. And he is perhaps the one living wonder of the literary world. It is fortunate that such an one must be born, that he cannot be made; especially that he cannot be imitated, for if every one wrote like DeCasseres readers would go mad. That he can keep in any semblance of thought-order such whirls of words is something to marvel at. Yet to read him once, twice, is to experience the greatest mental exhilaration." (The New York Times)

"Benjamin DeCasseres (is) the Pontius Pilate of America." (H.L. Mencken)

"A passionate, erratic poet...strives to shake the foundation of the world." (The Saturday Review of Literature)
