"I have enjoyed appearing in Van Gogh's Ear, and cruising through the wild variety of other poems."
-John Updike

"Congratulations on Van Gogh's Ear. This is certainly a unique publication."
-Joyce Carol Oates

"It was a pleasure to get the new issue, and to see my essay in such a fine review. I will certainly spread the word among talented writers I know."
-John Rechy

"Van Gogh's Ear evokes so well the mysteries of everyday life."
-Pat McMadden
County Librarian

"If you read some of the more cutting edge journals these days, for
example: Van Gogh’s Ear published by Ian Ayres in France, actors
and actresses, celebrities, everyone from Marilyn Monroe to the man
around the corner who has only published one poem are included within
its pages because their presence relates a multifaceted “world
culture” and many interrelated subcultures. Poetry isn’t simply for
the MFA anymore. The Public Poet and all of the other poets can
participate, proudly or – poetry will become dull yet again, a room
filled with old men in tweed jackets not in touch even with the
essence of their select creativity. But, these days, many of those
elderly men, who were influenced by “The Beat Era” and more can step
up to the microphone with the best of them."
