"E.D. Blodgett's final book Nothing Is But You and I completes his life long poem Apostrophes with a rumination on life, fragility, and time....[T]he poems formally reflect on time and duration, death and whatever comes next as our human matter unravels." [Full review at https://canlit.ca/article/something-attentive/]—Ryan Fitzpatrick

"Blodgett was perhaps the greatest living master of prosody in Canadian poetry, and this lifetime of craft is evident in every poem. Apostrophes VIII is exceptional—the culmination of one of the most distinguished poetry careers in Canada in the past fifty years."—James Gifford, Professor of English, Fairleigh Dickinson University–Vancouver Campus

"These are accomplished, weighty poems that demand full immersion on the part of the reader. They are dense and metaphysical with their own signature rhythm which often feels like waves crashing onto a shore, or a pebble thrown into water, and the rings from its weight moving outward into wider circles."—Jeanette Lynes, Professor of English, University of Saskatchewan
