Book SynopsisIncludes poems that are elaborate matrices of associations, translations, and re-imaginings; repositories for spells, memories, and tales; and concise prismatic shards, refracting meaning and beauty in an inscrutable world.
Trade Review"She offers a kaleidoscope that mingles vistas, a visionary telescope that can also isolate the particular of everyday."
-- Susan Grimm * Barn Owl Reviews *
"The poetry, though infused with compassion for beings caught between rocks and hard places, doesn't plead their case in abstractions, but pinpoints the heartrending details of their predicaments."
-- Craig Lambert * Harvard Magazine *
"It seems any moment can be caught and brought to light, and by the act of being caught, turned into something permanent. . . . Readers attracted to courageous, erudite poems with existential undercurrents will find a great deal in this volume to love."
-- Shevi Berlinger * Contrary *
"These poems have all the instinct and fangs of a canine, and the plush, electric fur of a wolf . . . Poets seeking to write poems that tell narratives in a new way . . . would be wise to read this book."
-- Sean Singer * The Rumpus *
