Critics Review
A passport to Manhattan’s green heart, stamped with wit, classical references, and a deep affection for the place itself… . “Four Walks in Central Park” is a rare thing: a love letter to a place that doesn’t shy away from its complexities, and a reminder that poetry can still change the way we see the world-one walk at a time. – Garth Thomas, The Hollywood Digest
This book made me want to hop aboard a plane and saunter, deliciously alone, through Central Park with its “roots and shoots and birds.” Next time, though, I will bring along Four Walks in Central Park. – Carla Sarett * New Verse Review *
For those who will not have the chance to walk in Central Park, Aaron Poochigian has created valuable images of the pleasure that would be, ensuring that one does not entirely miss out. For those who can walk in Central Park the book provides not only information about the various walks, and sites but a creative approach that can only enhance such journeys. * Robin’s Room *
My recommendation: get this book. Before you even venture into the park, sit down and thumb through it as you would a roadmap, or a book of poems. Take a look at the maps and the historical photos. Make a mental note of destinations… . Thumb through the final section on the park in literature-that’s a treasure in itself. The next day, take the book with you to Central Park. Start with the tour that sparks your imagination, and just start walking. – Nicole Killian * The Mob *
A long, guided poetic tour of Central Park in New York City… . This book offers many delights. – Geoffrey Smagacz * Front Porch Republic *
