“Orphanotrophia is a record of Andrew Kozma’s stellar ability to write unforgettable images that seem to sing off the page through rhymes so subtle they echo through to the final line and after. Reading each page reminds us that the role of the poet is being sure not to miss the beauty of the uncanny, the odd, and the ugly: ‘The bomb has a loving touch. It skins with a tailor’s grace…’ Kozma sees everything from every side, and to prove it, he employs the ‘O’ that is both a sigh and a song in unexpectedly original ways in this book of longing and praise.”

Jericho Brown

“In Andrew Kozma’s poems, the world is intriguingly askew: ‘The desert sky opens like the mouth of a dying fish.’ Cafés undress, walls merge with air, and rooms speak, sometimes even returning one’s gaze, projecting strange images that will shadow you like portraits whose eyes follow you around the room and even into the street. Kozma is at his best evoking those odd moments of disorientation when the stuff of your life transforms, seeming to submerge into a matrix of dream—‘those moments air becomes solid and you stare through ice / like a man in a glacier.’”
