Orion Magazine calls Seth Kantner's work "raw, beautiful, and unnerving." His latest collection of essays explores subsistence living and the Arctic.

Kirkus Reviews praises the collection as "A playful and provoking clutch of stories that forces words and themes into unfamiliar territory."

The New York Times declares that, with Purity, "Mr. Franzen has added a new octave to his voice."

The New York Times writes that “Fortune Smiles is a collection worthy of being read slowly and, like very good and very bitter chocolate, savored."

Yusef Komunyakaa says, "The poet writes the world he encounters, and imagines, with playfully deep interplay. The music in the language of Roll Deep is seductively straightforward, and each body-brain poem here puts genius squarely on the line."

Writer Dinaw Mengestu calles Dragonfish “That rare hybrid marvel – a literary thriller, a narrative of migration and loss that upends the conventions of any form.”

The Washington Post calls the novel “nothing short of miraculous” and “the reading experience of a lifetime.”
