[Buxbaum] executes so many different poetic techniques; every poem is unique and refreshingly well-written. So many different emotions are displayed in each poem...it really makes [the reader] wonder what she has gone through to write such masterpieces. I loved it!"- Der Vang, Gustavus Adolphus College alumna (2014) "[Buxbaum's] poems are invigorating to the reader.... [Songs from the Underground is] perfectly begun and perfectly ended." - Emmie Belpedio, Gustavus Adolphus College alumna (2014)
