Reviews
?Like water into wine, McCrea consistently and effortlessly transforms the quotidian into the revelatory. Wisdom & Dust dazzles and surprises with its pathos, wit, and insight.?
- Jonathan Evison, author of All About Lulu and West of Here
?The impressive poems in Wisdom & Dust have the swagger and pulse of the authentic. McCrea's characters, filled with equal parts rage and longing, bravado and despair, live in a universe where sucker punches and life-changing epiphanies wait at every turn.?
- James P. Othmer, author of The Futurist and Holy Water
?Vivid and revealing, Neil McCrea's Wisdom & Dust tells stories of lust, love, lawlessness, and root beer. The powerful but dark outlook reminds one of Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, but with a sexual twist.?
- Alyse Black ? International Award-Winning Touring & Recording Artist
?Following Neil McCrea's optimistic and innocent boy into manhood left me feeling like I'd committed some sort of new sin myself, like I was partly responsible for his descent into all of this cool, blue madness.?
- Jeannette Kantzalis, songwriter/novelist
