Reviews for Corrupted into Song: The Complete Poems of Alvin Feinman
"These poems do have a strong center, which springs from the speaker's intelligence, his measured rhythms and use of rhyme, and his sometimes detached outlook as he examines the world around him... Feinman's work deserves a broader audience."
Elizabeth Lund, Washington Post "A riveting collection by a poet who deserves to be better known."
