Book Reviews:
NOTE: Many of these reviews are several years old. The publishing data is no longer relevant. Most are probably not in print. But I post them here as a way to keep the memory alive and perhaps help to bring some of these books back into print. Almost of all of these reviews have been published in The Small Press Review, The American Book Review, and the Review of Contemporary Fiction.
