"I read it once... twice, every unexpected turn bringing joy. Bootleg Sake is the testament of a sophisticated sensualist with a firm, yet delicate touch. Erotic, bold, something new."

-Brandon Pitts, Author of In the Company of Crows, Tender in the age of Fury, The Gospel of Now

“These are the kinds of poems I see scholars at University take time to study. I am stunned by what I am seeing.”

—Rudyard Fearon
