““Such a damn good read it was impossible to put down once begun and then left me enraged because when it was finished it was finished. Wanted more. Lots more. … Simply put, Beaudin is a SUPERB writer and storyteller.””
Janet Martineau - Arts Saginaw

"A jazzy, freewheeling, rollicking road trip into the beating heart of the Eternal Now. Hop in and enjoy the ride."
Elise Atchison - Montana Quarterly

“Vagabond Song unfolds like an impressionistic series of trip logs reminiscent of Kerouac and blending elements of hippie folk pioneer Richard Brautigan with the broad quest also shared by Ken Kesey for discovering both sturdiness and serenity within the parameters of America’s remote landscapes. The work is as ambitious as it is fluid.”
Robert E. Martin - Review Magazine

“The Moon Cracks Open is spoken with honesty and openness, and written with the blood of a lyric eye.”
William Heyen - author of Crazy Horse in Stillness and Shoah Train

“A wonderful poetic ambassador for the birds … The seamless weaving of the human and natural is what makes these poems linger in a reader’s mind long after closing the book.”
Yu-Han Chao - Roses & Thorns Book Review

“I haven’t enjoyed such singing since Jim Harrison came west.””
Doug Peacock - author of Grizzly Years and Walking it Off

“Marc Beaudin's writing circumvents a world that revolves around technical perfection, a world that cannot keep the promises that it makes. Marc is part of an endangered species that never places a technical quality over an inner quality.”
Mike Johnston - bassist for Faruq Z. Bey & the Norhtwoods Improvisors

“Here is a poet with a stolen quill in his hand and birdsong in his heart. Marc Beaudin’s poems dip and swerve and caw; if you listen closely enough, you might just begin to understand that the ache of the human heart can only be translated through the language of crows.”
Meg Kearney - author of An Unkindness of Ravens
