Reviews
"This poet brings a sparkling consciousness to the page and an exciting new voice to American poetry." -Library Journal "Sometimes nervous, often restrained, occasionally playful, the energy that pulses in the veins of these poems is always palpable."--Cold Front "[V]ivid, arresting detail." --Publishers Weekly "While the poems in this book often operate as sanctuary, the speaker's signal turns siren, resulting in an eerie and emphatic alarm to alert us to the dangers of the conscious world."--Ploughshares
