Paul Mitchell has a deep love of the human condition and celebrates it with warm, witty, wise and wonderful words. He peers deeply into the cosmic comedy and weaves poetry of humour and compassion from all its colours. - Michael McGirr
In a Paul Mitchell poem, you're never far from a grim and lucid joke that might heal your wounds in a blaze of words. And if James Tate had ever got hold of the Dalai Lama's brain, my guess is that this is the ride they'd take you on.- Kevin Brophy
This book of poetry is so readable! Do I come across as surprised? Sorry. Just sometimes poetry isn't quite so open-handed. Oh, did I mention the wit? - Jennifer Compton
High Spirits is a book that evokes 'the edge of being' and 'a dark clock' and in which 'a bunch of sharks / fall out of the sky.' Read this book for its laconic wisdom and for the eerie insights of a poem such as 'Dead People I Know'. - Kevin Hart
