"A sensual mind finding its words - the full sounds and shapes come. And just enough: an elegance gained from poetic practice, observation, association. The art knows how to ride - accommodating
the reined - along the slopes, through valleys, and come in with finish.A poetry of intense consideration." - Reed Bye"Randy Roark loves the life of the mind. He loves it so much it becomes like a body,and here's
his body of work." - Jack Collom"Randy Roark manages the near-impossible: that eye's-sight and tongue's wind-of-word
exist quite commonly as being-at-one in all of his verbal working . . . (by this statement I do
not mean "description - he eschews description in the normal sense -- : I mean he's managed a particular magic where the spell of words and vision's un-nameable "spell" coincide in the mind of the reader because of the, most often, verb/noun arrangement of his language)." - Stan Brakhage
