Then there are the good old stories like you'd expect to get from real Cowboy Poets, such as Charles Potts' THE HOMESTEAD ACT...
Bob Dial, The Plastic Tower, Bowie, Maryland
Potts' style is like old sunbeaten lumber: square, utilitarian, splintery...like talking to an intelligent, self-educated rancher.
Doug Spangle, Portlandia Review of Books #7, Eugene, Oregon
You seemed so much the Solid Man Muldoon as you passed through this summer. 10-22-73.
Thomas McGrath
McGrath used to talk about you all the time. He'd say, "You guys need to read Potts. Look him up."
Robert Edwards, Pemmican, Redmond, WA
I've found your writing sound--that means a lot to me, ie that you temper your lines with a demanding ear and tension.
Robert Duncan
Potts, for all his present monumental sanity...was...the Preeminent Hippy Poet.
