Review Quotes:
Salt, parsnips, violets, bees with their dance-map of the city--common everyday objects fill these marvelous poems that build themselves like row houses, row houses of wonder with their "little song of nails." And too there is a formal searching--from sapphics to sonnets--always rigorous in its investigation and always leading us to insight. Here, we find manifestos to queerness as well as a necessary revising of masculinity and the male body--re-telling the personal and cultural stories of brothers, sons, and fathers while asking, trenchantly and with Rilke-like imploring, that we "begin again." ─Brandon Som, author of Babel's Moon and The Tribute Horse.
