WHAT READERS SAY ABOUT STEVE'S BOOKS ...
“Steve Noyes has written a wonderful book... [Bian Fu's] portrait is a marvelous act of creativity, and her character, in its complexity and strength, is unforgettable."
Edward O'Connor, The Fiddlehead

"In what is a real accomplishment, Noyes has let these two languages have intercourse." Shane Neilson, The Fiddlehead
|
“The persona in Noyes' poems is young, aware and sometimes funny, and the poet has a fine sense of the absurd that passes for everyday life ... At the core of the poems is a restlessness and an unwillingness to accept any spoonfed answers, which bodes well. It will be interesting to see in future work where his vision takes him." Rita Donovan, The Fiddlehead
“Image and idea meet easily here, and memorably... Noyes' work tends to roil outward from a gut intuition, confusing and invigorating at once." Allan Brown, Quarry
“... (a) gift for precision and concision...the poems here display an enviable range... Anne Archer, The Queen's Quarterly
|
“...flamboyantly self-centred ... These poems recall that the telling is in and about words, not life." Susan Rudy Dorscht, Canadian Literature
