Recurrences in these poems of memory, of receding characters, of artful surfaces of pain are finely wrought, with an intensity of tone and energy that belies a humor characterized by self-effacing feints. They feed into revelations one only finds in poetry. Text and body wreck each other, and that relationship is the jump off point for the rich imagination herein, an antidote, perhaps, for the metal cholesterol in our nation’s 6-lane arteries?” –– Anselm Berrigan
