Steve De France

Night Falls Steve De France

"He is one of a handful of great names in the contemporary alternative press." Joyce Metzger Editor & Publisher
"De France´s poems, narrative and lyrical, starting from detailed actuality and moving toward a more abstract epiphany, are very impressive." Randolph Healy New Hope International United Kingdom
"Treading a different edge between prose and poetry, De France strips all the varnish and superfluous color from our entropic middle class. De France´s poetry is compelling." Walter Well author of Tycoons and Locusts
"A poet of the street, suburbs, classrooms, cheap motels, dirty kitchens. . . Steve De France has done it all and writes like a slumming angel on the mean streets of Los Angeles, but what I appreciate most is De France´s quick wit and humor." Nate Graziano Editor & Writer
"A large percentage of the poetry in the journal emanates in the U. S. A. and the best of it comes from the quill of California´s Steve De France, always an elegant writer, and often reminiscent of that great scribbler of the American yarn O. Henry. It´s a sad fact that a great many poets do not read poetry. They can begin by reading a lot of what´s being written today. Steve De France in issue 22 of Current Accounts might be one place to begin." Pat Winslow Current Accounts
"People mention Bukowski and Carver when they talk about Steve De France´s poetry, they shouldn´t, because he has a voice all his own." Monterey Sunday Herald
"His poems really do kick serious ass!" Melody Sherosky Blindman´s Rainbow
"Steve writes complex, tough, angry modern American poems which somehow capture the mystery of ordinary everyday occurrences." Pat Cohee Curator Laguna Poets
