Trade Review"For readers who have not read Silliman before, The Age of Huts is a fine place to start." -- David Huntsperger Rain Taxi "In Silliman's hands, language-so often manipulated for political coercion and economic gain-is restored to its most mechanical, primal functions, upending our ideas of the poem and of the sentence, and reawakening us to what it is we're doing when we're reading, writing, thinking." -- Rob Schlegel Boston Review
