Reviews of Four From Japan

Midwest Book Review: Small Press Bookwatch
"Four From Japan showcases a diverse and reflective body of Japanese verse and other writings that is strongly recommended reading, a seminal addition to academic library poetry collections, and a welcome contribution to Japanese Cultural Studies supplemental reading lists."

The Poetry Project Newsletter
Matthew Henriksen reviews Four From Japan in issue #212 October/November 2007:

"Litmus and Belladonna have produced a gorgeous volume...

...The collection also reminds me that the most daring poems do not experiment merely for the sake of innovation: they innovate so we may discover."
