"A wit as sharp as Sedaris, a sensibility as poignant as Sexton,
Brown manages to blur the lines between cult writer and poet with
remarkable ease and grace."
- Anthem Magazine
"Derrick Brown's work-both on and off the page-sizzles with jolting
images and blasts of humor, yet retains a deep compassion at it's
core. He has a heart the size of a Mack truck, but we're not sure
who's behind the wheel."
-Jeffrey McDaniel,
"Sincere, twisted and violently romantic."
- OC Weekly
