Wade's lyrical linear marks are reminiscent of some foreign text. Being foreign the meaning is unknown, therefore, what remains is the recognition and appreciation of the mark itself. Actually, the aesthetic value of the mark is it's own meaning. Due to their linear nature the format of a book is an appropriate venue to exhibit them. Whether viewing the book from front to back, back to front or just skipping from here to there one is sent on a magical journey where each step adds to the anticipation and wonder of what surprise is around the next bend or corner. With growing anticipation and charm one continues the journey. Wade's book can be read/viewed again and again and the marks remain anew and fresh.

His ability to craft memories, whether shaded, flickering or luminous, entices readers of Bum Cantos, Winter Jazz, & The Collected Discography of Morning to linger, examine and encounter the significance of seemingly routine lives. Larson elegantly uses detailed, sensual images, chiming rhythms, and well-chosen, well-placed words to evoke layers of thematic content. Rustin Larson's poems entertain and inform while examining the many facets of the lives we endeavor to accept, enjoy and use for good purpose. -Michael Carrino, author of By Available LightLarson writes like an angel, but one who's willing to work both sides of the street. -John Peterson, Wapsipinicon AlmanacLike Odysseus, Larson has been trying to find his way home, or at least to redefine that home. Larson's vehicle for his journey is the process of writing itself, which he has dedicated himself to and which he knows can be both circuitous and serendipitous. But the writer who pursues his craft, like Odysseus who pursues the journey home, must have patience... the poet and his journey are one. -Stephen Schneider, Pirene's FountainEach poem in Larson's book is packed with as much detail as a short story. The narrator often alludes to literary works, famous as well as infamous people, easily identifiable locations on the globe, and renowned historical events that either relate to the poems thematically, or place the memories in history for the reader. The poems do not adhere to any one form, but rather, they take form as their contents require. Larson's writing style is multifarious. -Stephen Page, Buenos Aires HeraldFrom moment to moment, Larson is surrealistic, Proustian, stand-up-comedy funny, dead serious, sad, ecstatic, deadpan. In Larson's multitude of stories and modes, there's always some layer of the writer concerned with craft, with metawriting... Write on, Rustin, write on. -Vince Gotera, North American Review
