​ "Fischer produces a work as smart, satisfying, and nuanced in its climax as it is as a whole." --Publisher's Weekly
"BK Fischer's Radioapocrypha is a revelation. Maybe that's the easy and obvious thing to say about a book that retells the Gospel and situates it in America in 1989? But the revelation here isn't, or isn't just, the revelation one might expect from such a book--it's the revelation of Fischer's own skill as a poet as the story gains momentum and matches the intensity of the source material. I wouldn't have thought anybody could pull that off, let alone so well. Not only is Radioapocrypha a revelation, it is a miracle." --Shane McCrae
"BK Fischer is 'our lady' of the suburban neighborhood with streets named after famous poets--Keats, Spenser, Sidney, Pope. In the course of the book, and particularly through a series of poems whose titles begin 'Our Lady of, ' Fischer creates characters and paints zones of the American landscape evoking the nostalgia, dread, and abuses we recognize and fear. Amidst the swirling, radioactive decay of curling irons, ear-piercing guns, Keds, and the word 'slut' Sharpied on a school locker, Radioapocrypha brilliantly tells the story of community, young adulthood, and the complexities of sexuality in American culture." --Sandra Simonds
