"Beyond the artifice and hierarchies, the voice in Mario Susko's poetry engages, if not the oldest, then at least the final prerogative: one human being speaking before the unalterable and uncaring universe."
—Hugh Seidman

"Susko never embellishes the moments he is trying to capture; instead, he presents them in all their crudeness and simplicity, yet always favors the absurd over the merely tragic."
—Library Journal (full review here)
