Praise for Bob Holman:
"The postmodern promoter who has done more to bring poetry to cafes and bars than anyone since Ferlinghetti.”
—Henry Louis Gates Jr., The New Yorker
Praise for Sing This One Back to Me:
"These poems are colloquial, honest, and sure of themselves, which makes reading them a pleasure. . . . These are poems to share with friends and family until everyone is singing them back."—Hazel and Wren
