MORE THAN THE ALLEY
THE OUTLAW POETRY NETWORK  
...this is not a lighthearted read, not an enjoyable patio selection with the book club... the poems are best
served with a side of rocks and the knowledge that the journey you are about to take through the pages will
not be flowery, but will be lasting and necessary.   - Leah Angstman

RUSTY TRUCK  
This book establishes both his continued vitality in underground poetry and his undeniable ability to turn out
visceral, gritty and glaringly real verse.  - Harry Calhoun

POET HOUND  
...there are a half dozen more poems I’d love to share with you but I limited myself to the ones that made
me grin big. - PoetHound

RED FEZ
Doug Draime is one of those writers that I wish I could make everybody read. - Michael Grover

BARBARIC YAWP
Vol 16 / #4
[Draime] writes with real tenderness for his trapped characters... think of the Tom Waits album Nighthawks
at the Diner with its heartbroken drunks, bums, and hobos and you've got the mood. - John Berbrich

GOODREADS
...a tremendous introduction to Draime's work, and for long-time fans, this book offers one of his tightest,
and most focused batch of selections. - Hosho McCreesh
