Description
Book Synopsis"Truly a cabinet of curiosities, each poem a collage of surprising or remembered details, opening onto further marvels. The effect is vertiginous-and exhilarating. Scott Hightower has Marianne Moore's scissors and Elizabeth Bishop's spectacles, and he has written a book in the spirit of their adventurous precisions." J. D. McClatchy
Trade Review"Truly a cabinet of curiosities, each poem a collage of surprising or remembered details, opening onto further marvels. The effect is vertiginous-and exhilarating. Scott Hightower has Marianne Moore's scissors and Elizabeth Bishop's spectacles, and he has written a book in the spirit of their adventurous precisions." -- -J. D. McClatchy "Nothing is off limits to Hightower, nor does anything seem out of place. If his tone is sometimes light, it is also smart and brave...A fine addition to contemporary poetry collections." -Library Journal
