Praise for Sam Pereira

I’ve been an admirer of Sam Pereira’s poetry for thirty years now, marveling constantly at his intelligence and humor, his bravado and high style…There is a fantastic American swagger to these poems, part John Berryman and part Richard Hugo, part Hemingway and part film director David Lynch…—David St. John

When I think of languages combining like blood and milk, resulting in surprising lyric changes across someone’s poetry, I think of Sam Pereira’s work…. There is a shyness in Pereira’s work that insists on invented lives that arrive in the morning, a heavy deliberate and as flabbergasted as the rising sun. —Norman Dubie

Sam Pereira’s poems are built to last. The expertly turned sentences and lines show exquisite craftsmanship….Pereira accounts for experience the poet’s own and all of ours with the fidelity and big-heartedness of a first rate artist. —Peter Campion

Sam Pereira’s poetry creates an entire universe in which the possible and impossible seamlessly coexist. —Marcia Southwick

He’s an original. —Peter Everwine
