"Past Praise for Peter Carlaftes For Drunkyard Dog “Enjoyable read. Made me feel like I was right there. This work is like Jack Micheline—he was the greatest. . . . Must be that Bronx spirit. The poems take the reader running at a fast clip. Much better than same old descriptions of the down & out.” —Charles Plymell, poet, Benzedrine Highway For Teatrophy ""If Dr. Moreau fused the ungovernable souls of Beckett and Genet, he'd have created Peter Carlaftes.” —Michael Puzzo, Playwright, Dirty Talk, Lyric is Waiting “Spiked with dark humor, wise-cracks and moments of deep caring it’s hard not to appreciate.” —Richard Vetere, author, The Writers Afterlife “Challenging and cerebral work . . . A great addition to any collection.” —John Clancy, playwright, League of Independent Theater “Cries out Ultramodern—and that it delivers with unflinching scrutiny. . .” —San Francisco Bay Guardian For Triumph for Rent “As with Strindberg, Beckett, or even Sartre—Carlaftes’ message seems to be something we intuit . . . like music.” —SF Weekly"
