Yikes!!! This is awful juvenaila.
3. Juli 2006
I can't believe the reviews I'm reading. This...this is what passes as good poetry? It's not poetry but rather some arrogant, self-glorifying, shallow junior-high kid's diary. "Dear Diary, Raven is sad. So sad. Um....and dark. Yeah, that's it. I'm really, really, really, dark. So sad and dark. I'm so sensitive that life affects me more than it does other people. They just can't understand what deep, sensitive people like me and my readers go through..." Good God, save me from this shallow, poorly written drivel. How can you reviewers really read serious living poets like Paul Muldoon, Christian Bok, Seamus Heany, Billy Collins, Alicia Ostriker, C. K. Williams, and so many others who are really producing work that illuminates and transcends and still call at this confessional tripe by the sacred name of poetry. I'm just dumbfounded. I can actually feel the intelligence being sucked out of my brain as read a Raven "poem" featured on the website about being "haunted" by memories of an ex. Hideously clunky, devoid of anything new, entirely confessional and specific to the author. It is as if it were written by a high school freshman.

Power and Pride
4. Dezember 2004
I have not actually read Ravens book but i go to his site at least once a week. His work is amazing and truly accompanied by depth. They are beautifully mastered peices and are told in raw human emotion. If ever i was a writer i would wish to be that of the pride and power Raven has in his pen. His site is truly applauded by myself and many others and sorry to say Mr Olsen but you don't know what your on about. It may take a certain perspective to see the beauty in Ravens work and you obviously don't have that perspective. I pray to whatever god you follow that you will one day get it and be able to enjoy the powerful writings of Raven.

Congratulations Raven
27. April 2004
When I first visited www.ravensrants.com, I was impressed with the authenticity and candidness that Raven used to express universal emotion through his poems. He truly has a gift for expressing emotions through masterfully woven words. Though most of his poetry does focus on the pains felt in life, pain which I'm sure almost everyone has felt at some point or another, a few do deal with love and more positive emotions.
Over the past three years, I have read almost everything on his website. The short stories are inspired with unique concepts and twists. His essays, shoots, and rants touch on subjects that not everyone wants to pay attention to and usually take the side which goes against popular culture.
Raven is a master of the English language and his interersting perspective on life is inspiring. He tries, and in many cases succeeds, in showing different angles to a common story. Congratulations Raven on your success.
