In the Press

A slightly feverish delusions of grandeur ... apparently belongs to mental motor skills of a genius. A sympathetic vibration of this megalomania can also be felt in the poems of the young American poet Jeffrey McDaniel ... His poems reveal a penchant for excessive, a desire for metaphorical over-the- shore - kicking, the surrealist exuberance. (Michael Brown, Saarland Radio 2005)

A sensation. A word sleeves zerballernder eye, in its fractures and breaks you stuck. (Matthias Penzel, Rolling Stone, November 2006)
