His poems have appeared in many literary journals including Talking River Reviews, Atlanta Review, and Passage North. In 2002, he won an Oregon Literary Fellowship and a residency at Caldera. Michael McFee says of George's poems, "This is the best first book I've read in years, full of distinctive and powerful poems. George Estreich writes a vividly layered poetry, never settling for the easy touch: there's plenty of lyric pleasure to be had here, but there's always a meditative dimension that goes beyond mere surface dazzle...an engaging, alert, intelligent, playful, and exhilarating poet."
