Reviews
" I am adrift in a burned-out canoe / without a helmsman.' If you've ever felt lik this, then L.S. Klatt's Cloud of Ink should offer you some kind of cold-in this case the right kind of cold-comfort. Klatt's poems broadcast elegiac tones and redemptive notes; their combinations underscore the conviction we know by poetry's precisions, in some places and at some times felt as hope in spite of despair."-Dara Wier, Reverse Rapture
"L. S. Klatt's new collection creates a taxonomy of mystery, magic, surprise. Like a cloud, it floats through the reader's mind with playful shapeliness--but like ink, it leaves a darker, and lasting, impression."--Robert N. Casper, publisher, jubilat
"Swinging between the midwestern vernacular of James Wright and the vexed wistfulness of Richard Hugo, these poems are nearly unquotable, so tightly joined are they of languages variously plainspoken and wildly swooping. Klatt's seemingly spare and diffuse lyrics artfully assemble a complex and rich vision, generous in intention, provocative in enactment, ecstatic in spirit. A wild and welcome collection of poems from an exciting and dynamic thinker."--Kazim Ali, author, Bright Felon
