“Antonio’s extraordinary flow of writing both challenges
and comforts me. …I’ve caught myself engaging in…
tense, drowning thinking and reminding myself to relax
into a more floating way of being with life’s challenges.
…reading his material is a good practice
in holding that distinction.”
…
“His post…, Planing, Superimposition, & Palimpsest
is another… I’ve felt very moved by.
There is a density to his writing….
Read Antonio impatiently, read it like prose,
and his style and content can feel frustrating,
like being caught in weeds or nettles.
Read it like poetry and instead, I feel more
I am held with love by the ideas he expresses.”

…you’ve focused on how even promising responses to
our converging predicaments become mired in
the internalized power/coercion dynamics
which produced them in the first place.

Christian Ford

Orwell said,
‘To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.’
…seeing requires patience and a willingness to question oneself
as well as the other. …to say it as you see it,
…finding language both poetic and precise
enough to do the insight justice.
I think of you as …one who works
…diligently in both struggles….

…blessed to live on a small island…,…blessed to live on a small island…,
perfecting a craft, influenced by nature,
living one tide at a time.

David Malchman

You endeavour to stay present, to persist, and stumble,
and persist some more,
and never sell your insights short,
and persist still where most would give up;
because there is always another fold in an idea…
…you are willing to go the distance to unfold,
winding this way and that
as the sea and the wind do.

Catherine Lupton

i have found in your writing an exploration of
the edges of ‘everyday’ thoughts and ideas…
an extraordinary ability to ‘come back’ with a description
that showed me how there are multiple ways of seeing….
…which has more than once been a matter of resolving
my own feeling of being stuck….
