REVIEW FROM AMAZON.COM

"What amazes me about this collection is its ability to connect with the reader on so many different levels. O'Dwyer evokes a psychological landscape with honesty, humor and generosity. But these are not sentimental poems. The beauty of the language carries with it a sense of urgency that give the poems edge. O'Dwyer's subjects are diverse as well. He explores relationships concerning family, childhood, love and geography (Texans, take notice!). However, the poems delineate a space that transcends these categories, a truly incredible feat for any book of poetry. These are the kind of poems that do not get old, that keep on giving through third, fourth and fifth readings. After each reading, I am gratified that the world can be re-made into something quirky, unexpected and new."

"Caley O'Dwyer writes at an odd and wonderful angle. He not only tells the truth slant but also shines a playful, deadly serious, and singular light on it too. This is a terrific first book by a young poet on fire with his art."

--Thomas Lux

 

"Caley O'Dwyer's poems in Full Nova repeatedly draw a 'quick streak of blood in the mind's vein.' These are sharp, riveting poems and make a powerful debut."

--Arthur Sze
