Here are what others think about T. Crunk’s work:

I’ve been a huge fan of T. Crunk’s poetry since his marvelous, Yale-winning debut,Living in the Resurrection.

Crunk seems to me a true voyant, rather than a pseudo-mystic, as so many other current poets are. His poems convey a very real sense of the sacramental; one feels most fortunate to follow him through his lines, just as he goes along, uttering strange religious cries.

-James Dickey

-Mary Oliver

In Parables and Revelations … the moon writes suicide notes, ants prophesy, and mirrors and windows come face to face. Each poem directs our gaze toward the clues that shroud life’s most profound mysteries. They are signposts for the journey we are all on, whether we realize it or not.

-Chempolil Mathew
