Daybreak at Chavez Ravine in People’s Magazine

Reviews

“In Mine Mine Mine, the sanctity of the body, love, and family all suffer a perverse inversion for the sake of mining a wealth from which the miners reap no benefit. Phalafala – an English lecturer at Stellenbosch University – creates new poetic compounds to describe her grandfather’s absent relationship as a “stranger-father” to a “stranger-family”. Repeated references to the “city of gold” ring with a tragic irony.”

Toward a More Perfect Union

Review in Emerging Civil War:

“Toward A More Perfect Union is a treasure of letters revealing the struggles of war separation, affection, parenting, opinions, and values of a soldier and his young wife. Details within the letters will be of value to military and social historians and history-buffs alike.”

Aquaman and the War against Oceans

Review in H-Net Reviews:

“One thing I know for certain. I’ll be using the New 52 Aquaman in my next iteration of my anthropocenic humanities course. And Ryan Poll will be our guide.”

Union General

Review in The Strategy Bridge:

“Union General is a worthy addition to the scholarship on military leadership and will appeal to readers seeking a traditional military biography of an understudied but impactful commander.“

Butterfly Nebula

Review in RHINO:

“You will find all the poems in Butterly Nebula this layered, nuanced, uncanny, and plangent. Explore them at your own risk. Avoid them at your own peril.”
