Some comments on Robert Priest's Poetry

cd feelingthepinch 1000

Robert Priest's acclaimed CD Feeling The Pinch

“Modern classics.”
- Donna Lypchuck, Eye Magazine

“He is certainly one of the most imaginatively inventive poets in the country.”
The Pacific Rim Review

A truly invigorating combination of rants raves and reveries. A candidly close encounter with an assured literary intelligence.

-The Toronto Star

Beautifully captures the rainbow of emotions that comprise the human spirit.. Intoxicatingly lovely!
-- Now Magazine

“Robert Priest’s poems will speak to many generations.”
-- Bernice Lever, Canadian Book Review Annual

“Poetry full of flashes of insight. Imaginative in a strange way, he takes inordinate chances with logic, countering absurdity with absurdity, and expanding our sense of human emotional possibilities.”
-The Oxford Companion to Canadian Literature
