Robin Eichele is a Midwest literary treasure. His work takes his readers deep into the many dimensions of self and nature. His highly original metaphors and images translate the unknown world that lies below for the soul of our humanity that awaits the opportunity to be awaken by the poetry of life and beauty. Robin Eichele's poetry makes this world a better place, and it makes us more enlightened to be alive in it. – M.L. Liebler
Eichele’s poems are light as air, but surprisingly deep with many layers. Each poem is carefully constructed and softly shaped. Eichele’s voice ripples throughout each verse. He is skilled at turning his words into powerful visual images. He breeds letters into words into poems – and that’s magical writing! He has the right instincts to show you what is below the surface of each poem. His words come together as if they were meant to be. That’s certainly a refreshing way to write (and to read) poems. – LB Sedlacek
[Robin Eichele’s poems] ... are packed full of “ambiguity/ Suspicion and unanswered implications/ Slick as quicksilver”. You will hear some as clear as the peal of noon church bells. Others will be just beyond hearing as when you rouse from a dream. But they are always intriguing. Always absorbing. Always right on time. You’ll see you . . . – Bill Harris
In these “Selected Poems,” my friend of over 50 years Robin Eichele has sequenced a bardic flow of his remarkable works, walking “the high wire” of his bountiful muse-skills. I recommend you to relax and to read and study them. – Ed Sanders
In this ample selection of recent work, often grim meditations pop the bubbles of illusion, and skewer our habit of fattening frogs for snakes. This book from one of Detroit's original voices has been long overdue. – George Tysh
Robin hasn't changed much in the 50+ years I've known him, always true blue, always a dedicated poet. if anything, it’s just that his poetry keeps getting better. Kind of like Tu Fu, with flashes of Ou-yang Hsiu. – Timothy S. Phelan, PhD
