"Still in Soil is a poetic commentary on life, the world around us, and human nature. The majority of the pieces in the collection are in fragmented prose form, as if the author’s thoughts magically appeared on the page as the ideas flowed."
Joy Harper, Colorado Springs Gazette, Sunday, April 1st, 2007
"Avocados, grenades, chicken heads, galaxies, diabetes, bra-straps, hooks, gallows, razors, mice tails, a ’hot air balloon hung from power lines like a cat some teenager strangled and displayed’ - found objects in Kyle Torke’s hinterlands. Still in Soil refuses to ignore the world and, in so doing, reminds us of the fallibility and necessity of both memory and imagination. It is the poet’s work to find forms to contain experiences most of us fear to understand. In this, Torke’s second collection, he has done his work well."
Donald Anderson, author of Fire Road and winner of the John Simmons Short Fiction Award
