"One of a new generation of Newfoundland poets who are inspired by the riches of their culture, Stephen Rowe casts a meditative eye on the world about him."
—Mary Dalton
"Again and again while reading Never More There I was struck by arresting lines and images, by Stephen Rowe's rigorous attention to the natural world and the world of words. Eloquent and passionate, Rowe is poet of real promise."
—Michael Crummey
These careful anthropomorphisms give flesh to the vague and difficult reality of how we relate to our geography - a relationship that is, as his poetry would suggest, at times as strange and real as that shared between one human and another, if only in observance … Never More There is landscape poetry, in a broad and almost spiritual sense of the word. Read it slowly and deliberately and keep an ear to the ground for things to come from Stephen Rowe.
—Nick Shuurman, youngpoets.ca
