Synopsis

"Mud River is memorable...capable of telling a horror story...especially when plopping the thing into a basket of flowers."-Black Water Review

"...fun-how often do we get to recommend poetry with that?...reckless rapture...works...Some quicker, wilder efforts are nearly inimitable...adventurous metaphors."-Fred Chappell, author, Professor UNC

"...unforced and authentic, pretty rare today...It's all in Ayyildiz's diction-style, lyric sounds...taut lines, details, images, no false word choices...incisive...real..."-William Packard, NY Quarterly

"...Joseph Heller told No Laughing Matter. Ayyildiz equals-in ways surpasses-his account in Nothing but Time."-Walter James Miller, author, NYU Professor Emeritus
