Kevin Stein’s new book of poems, Sufficiency of the Actual, received some fine recognition in the January 11, 2009, issue of the Chicago Sun-Times:

A skilled reader, Stein is at home playing with Aristotlean definitions and Wittgenstein conundrums as well as miscarriages and night-shift factory work. There is a healthy respect for rock ‘n’ roll — the Who, for example — and enough common sense to have a healthy disrespect for the legends who are rock ‘n’ roll.
