Kocot’s varied approaches and poetic devices seem in tune and consistent with this world she’s created through her poetry.
Kelly M. Sylvester, NewPages
There is so much to love about the subversive relations she draws between things. Kocot is a long awaited roar from the vatic side of poetry.
Evan C. Kleekamp, The Hype Critic
The poems in Soul in Space, Noelle Kocot’s sixth collection, spark across its pages like synapses firing in the brain.
Emily May Anderson, Your Impossible Voice
Soul in Space is written by a poet of charming peculiarity and wisdom and whose poems are authored almost entirely by a homesick soul.
John Ebersole, The Philadelphia Review
Praise for The Bigger World
Kocot’s ability to assemble the fragments of people’s disintegrating lives is what makes these prose poems magnificent.
Amber Tamblyn, Bust Magazine
The Bigger World is one of the most pleasurable reads this reviewer has encountered in some time...
