Reviews

"Jeff Pew's wild and ecstatic metaphors burn their star maps, and spark quantum leaps beneath the familiar surfaces of dive bars, a couple's kitchen, and hospital beds. Through wry humor, sly tonal variations, and incisive detail, the accumulated minutia of life shimmers, uncanny. These poems take us for a spin in the babysitter's mustang, and leave us curb-side, our minds blown and hearts broken." Stephanie Warner author of Unlearning the Adorable "Jeff Pew's poems are full of play, curiosity, wisdom, and pain. He's a generous poet whose work ranges from the beautifully banal to the bizarrely surreal. You should read him, and read him to your friends on the phone." Stuart Ross author of A Sparrow Came Down Resplendent "In Jeff Pew's eulogy for youth, the world is a closely considered, well-worn, best-loved thing. The small and immediate is juxtaposed with the big and global. Reading One Foot In, you'll have your own conversation with death and the celebration that is life."
