“This story of an American college student struggling to piece together his Creek Indian heritage and learning what it means to love – really love – his HIV-positive boyfriend, no matter the prognosis is a triumph. Chip Livingston’s novel dramatizes the many unexpected ways that Place, Culture, and Ancestry lay claim to us even as we strike out and make our claim on the world. An utterly lovely, genuinely touching book.”
– Patrick E. Horrigan
“Chip Livingston’s empathetic take on a variety of men and women, along with his poet’s knack for precise, revealing details and descriptions make this eclectic, cosmopolitan collection a joy to read. His renderings of contemporary gay and Native American life are compelling, and the periodic glimpses into the dramatic relationship of the lovers, Peter and Elan, keen and poignant. This is spirited, compassionate, far-ranging fiction.”
– Cyrus Cassells
"Chip Livingston's new collection, Crow-Blue, Crow-Black, with its north/south orientation, resists the traditional (Native) American east/west telling. Livingston, with his perfect ear, chooses his dazzling, shining words carefully, like his corvine brothers. And like his southern hemispheric rosins, the bowerbirds, arranges and constructs these bowers, these poems, to draw us in and delight. Here we find a happy home."
- James Thomas Stevens
“All poets must juggle the sacred and profane and each must make some kind of peace with the paradox, fight it, or find a unique road in the up and down. Chip Livingston, in his first book, Museum of False Starts, makes a distinct trail of poems, through Mvskoke ancestral country, through the maze of American myths, through bars and parties at the edge, through disturbance and awe. What an auspicious beginning!”
