"Dynamic and vivid, Dan Rosenberg’s poems ponder the nature of consciousness, fatherhood, the passage of time, and our relevance within its cycle." -- Blackbird

"Dan Rosenberg is a deeply curious poet, experimental, playful, always pushing after new forms and approaches.... His successes with reinvention give any poet exhausted with 'finding one’s voice' a refreshing new outlook: the voice is always right in front of you, part of whatever project you are pursuing." -- Ryo Yamaguchi, Michigan Quarterly Review

[Rosenberg's poems] "seem born out of intense scrutiny and enduring observation." -- Lauren Haldeman, American Microreviews and Interviews
