“Sweet Nothings is a siren call to aural mediocrity, an invitation for fans of pensive wit to unravel the resonance found in haunting tonality.”
“His strongest and most mature effort to date, “Sweet Nothings” is metaphorical and musical brilliance.”

“Imagine a withered flower standing in a once beautiful place now surrounded by war and death. Bombs explode and gunshots are fired but, in the midst of it all, that flower carries on and does its best to survive every day, hour, and minute.”
Concerning Intimatitudes
“Intimatitudes is a loosely conceptual coming-of-age record written with savage honesty by someone who himself was coming of age during its composition. It’s like Catcher in the Rye but if Holden Caulfield had written it.”
“Intimatitudes is a swirling Dichterliebe of regrets, heartache, and other species of despair, at once shot through with a sly, sideward wink: the Poet is performing his role, and reveling in the portrayal.”
