Small Press Reviews reviews Everything is Everything
In his review of Everything is Everything in Small Press Reviews, Marc Schuster calls Cristin “a master of juxtaposition” and spotlights several of his favorite poems in the book, including “L’Chaim” where he write that a parallel found in the poem “demands further examination, as it implies that we are all, in some way, dying as we appear to celebrate, committing small suicides as we force ourselves to go through the received motions of daily life. Is there anything more than preserving the culture of our ancestors, the poem all but demands?” To read the full review, please click here.
