JoSelle Vanderhooft from The Pedestal Magazine said of last year's edition, "the Kakalak Anthology has proven itself to be an important contribution to the art of two states with a rich and fascinating history and culture, giving experienced and new poets alike a chance to contribute to the nation's understanding of the concerns and aesthetics of the Carolinas. As with other volumes, readers of Southern literature and appreciators of Americana alike will find much to appreciate in this year's installment of an always beautifully bound and produced series."
