Trade Review

". . . gleans the Spokane resident's best work from eight books and his haunting new work."

-- Mike Dillon * City Living *

"There are stable frames of reference in his poems, but he's good for a substantial surprise almost every time….Those who seek Howell's book out will find a poet who over time has grown more and more comfortable with surprising word choices, comparisons, and lists. He's so sure the force of his narratives will carry the reader through to the end, so sure the feelings that come through in his poems are real and undeniable, he can risk what looks at first like irrelevance…."

* Constant Critic *

"Over the last three decades, Howell's poetry has deepened yet lost none of its quicksilver movement where the quotidian and eternal play tag."

* City Living *
