Perfect Disappearances will make you laugh out loud. It will make you cry, too. In poetry I only have a few heroes, and Paul Hostovsky is all of them.
-Hal Crook
Beneath the wonderfully snarky voice in Perfect Disappearances lies a very romantic soul who captures the subtle nuances of life with wit, humor, pathos, and charm. The beauty of these poems is how they often feel like mini biographies, weaving stories that are compressed, sensual, alluring, provocative, lusty. Hostovsky's poems look like him.
-Judith Marks-White
Hostovsky's work is so damn good. I revisit it often. To be honest, it is a source of, not only admiration, but inspiration.
-Neil Carpathios
