about the work
“Steve Fellner's Blind Date with Cavafy [was] published by a small press, Marsh Hawk Press…[it] took a blogosphere buzz around the winning title and equally alluring book cover (designed by poet Claudia Carlson) to get this book some attention.” —Rigoberto González Poetry Foundation “The cover designer did a brilliant job, and was more than willing to take any of my suggestions, which of course, was a moot point—she created something spectacular immediately.” —Steve Fellner • • •
“Claudia, you are AWESOME. So aesthetically gifted and so accommodating. I couldn't have asked for more, truly. I am so proud of this site. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for setting a high standard and helping me to realize my vision for what I wanted to present to the world!” —Michele Wolf, for her website, 2011 • • •
“Beautiful! Content and photos are very powerful. Beautifully designed. • Great cover. Instantly makes me want to pick it up. Good use of illustration. It says it all. • Great use of creative and professional photography & photographic art. Original approach, innovative, intriguing the reader at a glance. I especially like the use of the title imagery on the back cover, and how the accolades are arranged in the window. • I like the collage and mobile effect on the cover. It's a good device to tie in with some of the childhood memories spotlighted in the stories. • Overall Reaction—A powerful printed book. BRAVO!” —JUDGE'S COMMENTS 
“Like a still life painting, the fiction pieces, poetry, nonfiction, artwork, interviews, and illustrations gathered in this issue [of Alimentum] are artfully placed to bring each piece into the best light…One of my favorite poems is “The Origin of Fruitcakes" by F.J. Bergmann. This is partially due to the illustration (one of many) by Claudia Carlson, of two jitterbugging fruitcakes with strawberry eyes.” —Melinda Rich, Newpages.com
