Reviews
"The overall result is a compact, coherent and troubling book: its two aspects happily opposing one another - the almost unfeeling, almost scientific X-ray picture of a real situation; and at the same time the almost compassionate, almost merciful employment of that same situation transformed into short rhythmic pieces - co-exists in these poems, simultaneously hurting and pitying." -- Fabio Pusterla
