"Reading Casey Quinn’s Prepare to Crash, I suggest you prepare to have the time of your life as this talented poet sails his short poems straight to your heart. Not only do his poetic gems sparkle on the outside, you can peel them open and find below the surface a deeper brilliance with which readers can see their own reflections. Quinn shares his life and his relationships, telling us that 'nothing in this life/starts out perfect,' but there is always reason to hope, that even in life’s sameness, we can find comfort in 'the bright orange flower/in the garden/next door.' Easy on the eye in its thin vertical layout, the poems of Casey Quinn will stay with you for many an enjoyable eye ride!”
Salvatore Buttaci Boy on a Swing

“Quinn has crafted short, outwardly simple poems that manage to push the boundaries of metaphor and irony through subtle humor. The collection is brilliantly paradoxical. And I wish I knew how he pulled it off.”
Alexis Czencz Belluzzi Practicing Distance

“...accessible, often witty, with a deft playfulness, and often poignant, with a lack of pretense in a day when so many poets try to show how clever they are.”
Kathryn Stripling Byer, Poet Laureate of North Carolina
