Struggle is made funny and acceptable and yet the poet doesn't downplay ordinary struggle. April Ossmann notes, Nudelman's poems are courageous and soulful, merging science and poetry--such that each is made more personal. Readers who appreciate Gaston Bachelard, William Bronk, David Ignatow, will likely find a new next voice--unexpected as it is in a life-long medical researcher and bookseller. But just when you think Nudelman's honesty is boy-next-door, we're given a dose of allusion to the surreal. OUT OF TIME, RUNNING refines indulgences and goth as if Keats and David Sedaris were sometimes Med School buddies. What remains is more sweet than bitter, and poetry we couldn't refuse." --Peter Money, Publisher, Harbor Mountain Press"In moments documentary, in moments meditative, these poems are pared and spare, carefully wrought and duly lined, availing absences and openings for the poet's and the reader's late longings to collude."--Scott Cairns, author of Idiot Psalms and Endless Life.PRAISE FOR "WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN ELEPHANT"1Edward Nudelman's delicious use of math and science language and metaphors combined with his sense of humor and seemingly limitless curiosity; his capacity to surprise the reader with juxtapositions and acute observations: "His face leans into the cold window,/nostrils pressed against glass leaving/transient marks with every expiration"(from On the T, Near Park Street); and the sheer loveliness of so many lines: "fish released deep into gray sea with krill,/blind and anaerobic, nothing to breathe/but sheer grace through green gills" (from The Quitter), make this a book to re-read, to share with friends and family, and to return to for inspiration, discovery, comfort, and fun. April Ossmann Poet, independent editor, and former director of Alice James Books.2Few poets can steer between generosity and insight or aphorism and wonder with ease, but Edward Nuddleman's book is one of those rare books. He makes the intangible tangible. He turns afterthought into deep thought. Above all, he unpacks certainties into reasonable doubts. This is a keen book and a special one. David Bespiel, Poet, The Book of Men and Women, 2009 (Named 'Best Poetry of the Year' by The Poetry Foundation), past poetry reviewer Washington Post, NY Times. 3Edward Nudelman's poetry revitalizes life. Time passes quickly but reading these poems is to be awakened alive in the moment.Grace Cavalieri Water on the Sun, Bordighera Poetry Award, Pen Center Best Book List4Edward Nudelman's poems remind me of electrical outlets. You put your finger in one, it gives off a jolt; you move onto the next one. They're about machines, shadows, visions, calculations, nuts, babies, fingernails, ghosts, 'buzzing warnings' and the surprisingly subtle difference between being on and off. In short, they're philosophical but enjoyable. I recommend the book."-Aaron Belz, PhD Poet, professor (English); Lovely, Raspberry. Persea Books. 2010. The Bird Hoverer. BlazeVOX books. 2007.
