Great Regulars: From what I heard and read that day,

I got an impression of Dave Church as a sort of Rhode Island version of Charles Bukowski: a bit of a carouser, committed to honesty and straightforward language, a writer with a populist sensibility, a rough take on life and a good heart. I was pleased with the student's presentation that day, and pleased to know that poets like Dave Church are living and actively writing among us. His is a simple voice that looks to find poems in the pattern of weekday life. ["Muses is] a good example.
