?Famous last words for this terrific book are hard to come by but one such would be ?Wonderful!? Loren Goodman has made a veritable masterpiece out of leftover formulae for writing quite other stuff indeed. Famous Americans is my kind of people.??Robert Creeley, author of Just in Time, Poems 1984?1994
"Goodman?s debut is pyrotechnic, polymathic, and wild as a naked deb on a skateboard."?Carol Muske-Dukes, Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Sharp-witted and unreverential."?Sarah Kennedy, American Book Review
"It?s hard to imagine a poetry so free of anxiety as Goodman?s Famous Americans. . . . It?s liberating to read a poetry so free of concern for itself."?Paul Killebrew, Boston Review
?Often amusing, always smart, Famous Americans makes for an impressive debut.??Carrie Etter, Times Literary Supplement
?Loren Goodman?s Famous Americans [is] winner of one of the most prestigious national prizes in poetry, The Yale Series of Younger Poets competition. Full of jokes, puns, parodies, philosophical games, mock interviews, imagined indexes, faux biographies and meta-lyrics, Goodman?s book is a brilliant example of what we might call the idiot savant school of contemporary American poetry. . . . A book of many tones, hues, laughs and thoughts, Famous Americans reveals an inexhaustible curiosity and a generously skewed spirit.??Maureen N. McLane, Chicago Tribune
