Professor Michael Rectenwald, author of Beyond Woke, commented on the Ants at War series when it was published in New English Review: "Your poems are like beautiful crystals of language: sharp, multi-faceted, and poignant." An Amazon review for Odom's earlier work said, "I love Selene, the whole damn, painful bloody nose of it. What a book." You will not find another poet like Odom writing in English now, not in bookstores, not in the university. But how sad the loss for the poetry lover who fails to find these poems.
