Here is Prof. Rydbeck's review of "Stung with Love":
 

Aw, there's a sweet blog post about my reading at "Poetry in Public":

"Whether you think about it or not, poetry is in our daily lives. I attended a poetry reading with visiting writer, Aaron Poochigian, at Thompson Library this past week. At first I really had no idea what to expect but as the reading concluded, I realized how poetry can impact us directly. . ."

I had a delightful interview with Andrea Garrison Tuesday night, 11/27/12--Check it out. She usually interviews musicians, social activists and spiritualists--I was her first poet. A lot of reciting--my stuff, Sappho (Greek and English) and, yes, even my bro' and soul-mate, John Milton.

Here's a review of my "Cosmic Purr" in "The Journal." The reviewer is prize-winning poet and dramatist Matthew Buckly Matthew Buckley Smith:

Don't forget:

"Syllables rough and smooth enough to soothe and stir,
we are the deep massage, the cosmic purr."

New Formalism and the Classical Contemporary Tradition
 
by Kevin L. Nenstiel, U of Nebraska-Kearney

Like his fellow classicist AE Stallings, Aaron Poochigian forms a bridge between the dead luminaries he translates, and today's introspective verse. He makes use of the ancient, somber forms so many readers love, but he applies them to a muscular contemporary poetic ethos. And though his verse is very new, addressing current concerns for a living audience, it has a lyric texture of something much older, with a robust Greco-Roman spine.

Grady Harp, reviewer for "Poets & Artists" magazine, has the following to say about the "Cosmic Purr":
