Review of Eternity & Oranges in The Literary Review
Review of Eternity & Oranges at American Microreviews
If Bakken can, in the future, stay put in his resplendent Hellenic-inflected imagination for a good while, and avoid the art museum and his personal library, he may just write a book with the smell, taste, and texture of ambrosia. Goat Funeral isn’t quite that, but it’s not chopped liver, either.[6]
