On River Town:
"Dougie Padilla's poetry settles into you with the scent of new hay, the din of the zocalo, and the warmth of your grandma's prayers".
- Timothy Young, author of Portraits of Rodeo Clowns and Royalty
From "toboggan":
"dougie sez: / may all who trudge uphill in this life / find themselves at the top / with a good strong toboggan /and a clear path to the bottom, / the snow just perfect / for a long ride / and a life full of / simple / cheap / thrills."
