Critical Commentary

“The Camping Trip by Pat Maslowski, winner of the 2009 Green Fuse First Chapbook Award is the finest chapbook I’ve come across in many years.   It is a magnificent poetic journey away from the mass media materialism we grow up with, and out into the freedom of the natural world and patterns around us.  It is laid out in a tightly focused, nonlinear, organic poem-sequence, demonstrating the maturity and dedication to craft and vision which Pat Maslowski has achieved through years of study.” 

Excerpt of a review by Jared Smith, poet and judge of the Green Fuse First Chapbook contest.
