About After Party:

"These are poems full of vivid particularities, poems that know 'it's easier to love / this world than it is to disappear.' Noah Blaustein is a believer in hard-earned wisdom—'suffering is measured / by the strength of one's fears'—and a poet of ferocious nostalgia."
—Campbell McGrath

"Here's one of the many things I love about Noah Blaustein's poetry and his bright and tender and honest new book After Party: everything you thought you were reading is broken, then willed back. It looks the same, but having been touched by the ripples he's launched, it can never be the same again."
—Cornelius Eady

"Blaustein is as canny as Odysseus returned home and stringing his bow. Vagabond and shining like the sea, his poems drag you to deep undercurrents as you are caught singing in their chains."
—Garrett Hongo
