"Your piece blends the observational humor of stand-up comedy, the quick tempos and wandering melodies of jazz, and the clever linguistic turns of spoken word poetry. That is so deeply human, pointing out the joys and absurdities of living in our current moment."

- Ann Elise Hatjakes Contest Editor, the Missouri Review`
