"Pedro Poitevin writes strict, formal poems so uncannily that, in Nowhere at Home, 'we hear the Moon.'" — Christian Bök

"Nowhere at Home is an inventive and thought-provoking tapestry that intertwines the personal, the social, and the philosophical. A master of wordplay and poetic forms, Poitevin crafts an intricate dance of words, seamlessly combining high verbal precision with logical closure and evocative imagery." — Philip Nikolayev

"Unquestionably the most singular book of poetry I've read in decades. Ever read a bilingual Elizabethan sonnet that's also a palindrome? Nowhere at Home is full of exquisite pleasures of form, taken to the nth degree. This book reminds us of the parallels between mathematical logic and poetry, and makes us more attuned, sensitive readers of words (and letters). Yet this poetry is not only play. It is also a concerted effort to enact Frost's 'momentary stay against confusion,' to offer a human challenge to chaos, personal and cosmic." — J.D. Scrimgeour

"Arte simétrico en el que el autor se ata y desata una y otra vez con los más bellos nudos de la simetría." — Pedro Ruiz

"Poitevin es uno de mis héroes. No sólo es el mejor palindromista que ha existido, sino además es un poeta superior en todas las áreas." — Jorge Drexler

"No en todos los siglos se escribe un libro como éste." — José Luis Perdomo Orellana

"Es tal la maestría formal de Pedro Poitevin, que pocos señalan lo más importante: lo buen poeta que es." — Aurelio Asiain
