Kritikak Amerikako Estadu Batuetan

‘The poems are a beacon of light and memory, surrounded by conflict, explosion and interruption.’–Los Angeles Times Book Review

‘Unusually wise for a young man.’–Booklist

‘Uribe is a poet whose concerns embrace all that’s human (lovemaking, fable-making, growth, and death): like Darwish, Ritsos, or Zagajewski, he’s a poet of worldwide scope.’–Marilyn Hacker

‘Fishermen and modernists, history and eroticism, cuckoos and e-mails, fairy tales and newspaper clippings: Uribe’s olive tree ‘lives two thousand years but tends to remember nothing.’ His poems remind us that poetry tends to remember everything.’–Eliot Weinberger

‘Sharply alive, prolific of freshness, in Meanwhile Take My Hand no poem lacks its flash of discovery and verbal surprise. Here is new pleasure, access freely given to a deep culture unknown to most of us. A vivid inheritance, written and oral, comes over to us richly in these savvy, wry, and hope-filled lyrics.’–Marie Ponsot

‘[Kirmen Uribe’s work is] an urban poetry, made with a special rhythm, direct and piercing…; a poetry that has assimilated the legacy of the Basque oral tradition and come to rest in the twenty-first century: ‘reality’s bone marrow / resides in its pieces.’–The Barcelona Review
