"Listening to available recordings of Karpovsky's spoken poetry is to be transported into a mind that has been contracted by some higher power to tell the smaller stories -- the obscure and abstract stories that question our sense of faith, while simultaneously supporting it... The ululating sound of the ghost bird begins to haunt your own mind and urges you to dust off your old binoculars and set out questing after the transcendent ideals that come to be represented by the ivory-billed woodpecker of the film... A dark and comedic piece ['Woodpecker'] begs a sense of true faith from its viewers for the ivory-throated myth to exist at all."
John Ayotte, MAINE MORNING SENTINEL
