By Tom Rohe

Rebel is a life-passage collection of poems, an autobiographical journey rich with personal memory. Tom Rohe's writing is intense, moody and courageously perceptive. Chances are you will find yourself in some of these poems, in the darkness and in the pieces of slivers of light that weave our live.
Ellen Kort, Poet Laureate of Wisconsin, 2000-2004

I read these poems with pleasure. They're engaging poems, which nicely reflect a life.
Ronald Wallace, Felix Pollack Professor of Poetry, University of Wisconsin-Madison
