About the author

"There is a lot to discover in Darkly Told. It doesn’t offer immediate answers, nor is it meant to do so, but it will repay careful listening. Hopefully, this chapbook will be successful enough to prompt Alicia Cole to make a few more. Fans are better off for its appearance." - Dead Reckonings No. 18

"A tour-de-force of the world from a very different mind. I am reminded of Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury." - Jim Bennett - "Among the Aspens", Torn Pages Anthology

"Ms. Cole's literary poem flows like an old ballad with an ostinato of "one stone."" - Songs of Eretz Poetry Review - "Counting Stones", Electric Velocipede

"I don't pretend to understand “The Knowing” by Alicia Cole, one of my favorite poets, but there is something unspeakably beautiful about the language. Listen and just let it wash over you...it's in the process of changing me." - Amazing Stories' Poetry Planet Review by Diane Severson - "The Knowing", Liminality
