Description: Twisted, knotted, struck by events and emotions at our historical moment, these Drafts register and produce torques--exaltation and tension, torsion and force, in their symphonic and bantering surges. This book continues the long poem project that Ron Silliman calls "one of the major poetic achievements of our time."
Review Quotes: True to their name, Drafts, the poems accent provisionality, risk, the absence of guarantee, delving into words and word parts with a heteroglossic verve that seems vengeance at times. With recourse to an astonishing range of techniques and material devices, formal concern as inclination and qualm, these poems register, lament, react to and wrestle with erosions on multiple fronts - psychic, social, historical, somatic ... They affirm and negate the toll history takes on letter and spirit, affirming and negating and navigating a way between.--Nathaniel Mackey "American Poet "
