In Riding Thermals to Winter Grounds the poet, "a cleanup man" who has "settled in the Dachaus of the mind & learned to love the guards," looks back, feels "invisibility coming on," and prepares "to go home" ... "the fair means to Montauk grow out of my shoulder blades."
About Djelloul Marbrook's Far from Algiers, winner of the 2007 Stan and Tom Wick Poetry Award and the 2010 International Book Award in poetry:
. . . I find some perfection of style, including images, in his verse . . . as succinct as most stanzas by Dickinson. . . . an unusually mature, confidently composed first poetry collection.
--Susanna Roxman (author of Crossing the North Sea), in Prairie Schooner
