"The poems of Steve Fay aren't like anyone else's; his voice carries its own authority—original in both senses of the word, with a taproot deep into origins, while arrestingly fresh in language and vision." —Eleanor Wilner
"Steve Fay is a rich and rare poet. His Western Illinois world is a haunting place. It is here he invites his readers to take part in the mysteries he celebrates." —John Knoepfle
