Buckeye captures a rare emotional authenticity and realism attained by few authors .... the piece is a testament to Robert Buckeye’s ability to craft a truly honest and powerfully real work of fiction.

     Andy Stewart, Review of Contemporary Fiction

 

Robert Buckeye’s work—whether he deals with intimate or far-flung geography—has an edge to it, an incisive lyric toughness that’s very much his own. The voice has pace, rhythm, force.

    Nicholas Delbanco

 

At the center of Buckeye’s clear, direct prose is moral memory. All his life, from Cleveland to Bratislava, he has been measuring the material world from the body out.  It is this rare combination of moral memory and materialism that makes Buckeye’s writing so compelling.

You may have to keep reminding yourself it’s not poetry … because it is so surely lyrical, so rich with imagery.
