Recensioner i media

It's rare to find a poet with such a laser focus on creating a lifelong legacy . . . His poems glitter like ornate glass drinking bottles-beautiful, yes, but equally aware of their utility. . . This seems to be Oresick's great message, and I am grateful for it: that we all live a life that is capable of rising to the status of art.
