What the Raven Said

“Robert Alexander has long been in my ‘top ten’ living poets. There is a decided uniqueness in Alexander’s work that puts him in that rare category of a memorable poet.”—Jim Harrison
 
“I think there is an Emersonian sensibility in his tightly written prose poems. If there is such a thing as a Midwestern prose poem, Alexander surely invented it, merging natural imagery and personal reflection, transforming what could have been mere picturism into profundity.”—Peter Johnson
