“Seth Michelson's House in a Hurricane weaves, out of despair, loneliness, the ordinary and sometimes the ugly, things of beauty, joy and worth. I ran the gamut of emotions as I read this book – in one sitting, by the way. It's a written work of art, and isn't that what art does? Makes us feel? To paraphrase a line from one of Seth’s poems, I fell a million ways in love with this book.”
~ Lucy Spinetti, Boston Literary Magazine

"Seth Michelson's poems, one after another, wrangle the brutal and broken world into something that sings. This is hard work, and good work."
~ Ross Gay, Against Which

"House in a Hurricane is exactly that: a safe haven of poems beautifully guided by Seth Michelson—but be prepared for dangerous weather. This is 'leaping poetry,' a collection which is perfectly irreligious and spiritual, written by a poet who is so craft-wise and well-read one might not notice the rising of the wily winds."
~ Kate Knapp Johnson, Wind Somewhere, and Shade, The Perfect Life: Poems, and When Orchids Were Flowers
