Critical Commentary

performance poet.....

"One of Denver's more popular performance poets...original, moving and insightful"
"Underground" Rocky Mountain News (Nov 13, '94)

"SETH has a leveling gaze when he speaks his poetry that harbors power and intelligence."
"Reign of the Scar Clan" Westword (Aug 23-29, '95)

writer.....

"The plays' author SETH.....has taken two centuries of black popular music and beautifully used it to carry the story of Moses, who leads his people to freedom. SETH shows a natural inclination for putting together the book of a musical; the biblical story is well-paced in distinctive segments, and the songs illustrate emotional and narrative moments."
"Suite Moses" Rocky Mountain News (Nov 1, 2002)

actor.....

"SETH is outstanding.....The actor smoothly and movingly handles a demanding role that requires him to transform from a young and questioning Moses, unsure that he's the right person for the job, to an old blind man who has led his people through the desert for 40 years....."
"Green Pastures" Denver Post (Feb 10, '01)

workshop instructor…

 “SETH was A M A Z I N G! I still can’t believe how motivated he got my students about writing...In 15 years of teaching I have never seen so much figurative language. Thank you SETH!!!!!)
(T. Hackett, Chappelow Elementary School)

“[SETH} reminded me that all students can be writers. We need to continually teach them to be confident about themselves and in their writing.”
(R. Haskett, Greeley West High School)
