Praise for J. Michael Wahlgren:
I had
the pleasure of reading several poems by J Michael Wahlgren. The tone
of his work is very complementary to what I like to hear in poetry.

Wahlgren's Chariots of Flame is like a ripe berry: there's a lot
of juice packed into such a small package. The variety of poems in the
chapbook is astonishing. Wahlgren is equally adept at the short poem,
as in "Notes," and the longer lines of "Arms." Read
in one sitting the collection ebbs and flows smoothly, but you could be
forgiven for stopping and chewing some of the meatier poems. "Is
it safe to say I lost my way" begins one of those, entitled "August
Deluge." But Wahlgren doesn't lose his way. His small collection
moves like a speed-drunk road trip. And when he reaches the end with the
powerful "Contradiction" you understand that the journey has
been a spiritual quest, like all speed-drunk trips. "I write/as a
way to behave," Wahlgren says, and I can't remember a more succinct
reason for the quest.
