"The poems in Moving Blanket seem to measure the nearly imperceptible moment in which consciousness becomes aware of itself as language. Elusive yet vivid, they ride on subtle mild currents that can turn unexpectedly into eddies of grace or passion. In the end, we have been on a journey without destination, other than the unfurling of an intimacy between a poet and his world: 'I sit on our bench again / Things are happening around me.'" —ANN LAUTERBACH
"Weather, meteorological and mental, is at the heart of Kostas Anagnopoulos’s poetic universe. A strong sense of someone home, watchful on his perch, invites us to clamber up and join the lofty view, as the words suddenly turn, beaming: 'We must tell the world!'" —BILL BERKSON
"Of all the exciting linguistic effects of Kostas Anagnopoulos's poems—line-by-line shifts in perspective and perception, familiar phrases reconfigured—the most remarkable is ultimately the emerging voice—'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPOULOS'—of the lively and original poet himself." —PAUL VIOLI
