Some quotations from past reviews and blurbs:
- "I remember once hearing a radio announcer giving a live on-the-spot report of the explosion and tragedy of the Hindenberg--his shock, his voice shouting, sobbing. This collection of poems is like that."--Mary McAnally, re. These Are My Shoes
- "Following the steps of Ginsberg, Olson, and at times, Whitman, Money still stands in his own shoes. He is a reporter who always finds light at the end of the tunnel"--dw, Taproot Reviews
- "[These Are My Shoes] occasionally reminds one of the personal quality of Frank O'Hara's or Ted Berrigan's poems, the variable foot of WCW. It's a good first book--perhaps most interesting in what it suggests about where this poet could take his poems in future--and what his generation will offer us as it comes to its maturity."--David Cope
- "Peter Money is an eccentric writer...prolific coming in from all directions"--Allen Ginsberg, re. These Are My Shoes
- "I also enjoyed 'Big Yellow' it reminds me a bit of Larry Eigner--I think he would have like to have written it and that makes me nostalgic for Raymond Carver"--a reader from Grantham, England
- "There is no fear of trying new visual formats or tackling any subject...'Sitting Here Thinking About The Nature Of Chaos' shows the poet's distinctive cadence and restlessness...The poet comes from a special place"--Mary F. Yoder, for ONTHEBUS
