Description

Poetry. "The heir to Modernism at its most terse and most oblique, Mobilio works line and sound forcefully together, managing amazingly acrobatic moves. With an eye for the monumental incidental, he winds through ekphrastic gesture and an eccentric abecedarium to give us a tour of the contemporary that's quick, vivid, and wry almost to the point of irony but not quite. Instead, he sticks with the tenacious questions, probing the slim abysses between a life's well-oiled parts. It's delightful, witty, and deeply moving all at once" Cole Swensen."
