“John Olson is writing the most outlandish, strange, and inventive prose poetry ever in the history of the prose poem. Olson’s writing is so agitated with transformation that it can barely contain the skin of its own given language. It is a volcanic, fresh, and scalding rush.” - Clayton Eshleman

“In the stream of these astonishing observations, science and surrealism are a single wave, charged with riotous particle, that only Olson Laboratories has the capacity to record. From DNA to deep fields of space, to our world of shopping carts, birdhouses and anchovies. John Olson’s ecstatic science tests for the truth of our chemicals, and our syntax, in bursts of intelligence, compassion and delight.” - Joseph Donahue
