Reviews of and Blurbs for OcSerp

"Me impresiona bastante!"

-Felipe de Ortego y Gasca, author of We Are Chicanos: An Anthology of Mexican American Literature and A Medio Grito: Chicanos and American Education

"Lovely and smart...and beautifully made."

-Anne Carson, author of Plainwater, Men in the Off Hours, and others, in an email to the author

"JeFF Stumpo does not translate his poems but rather, in a second language -- in this case, Spanish -- he ignites new poems from the core spark of the original. His chapbook is permeated with the trickster spirit at its most engaging."

-C.M. Mayo, author of Sky Over El Nido and Miraculous Air, editor of Tameme

"Stumpo creates...a labyrinth but one where the act of deciphering is the act of traversing, never escaping. El Oceano y la Serpiente / The Ocean and the Serpent is a fine place to be lost."

-From Farid Matuk's review in Borderlands: Texas Poetry Review
