Review Quotes:
"I've been an admirer of Sam Pereira's poetry for thirty years now, marvelling constantly at his intelligence and humor, his bravado and high style. Sam Pereira's poems are often both disarming and alarming, or perhaps, first alarming, and then tenderly disarming."--David St. John
"From the haunting title poem to the hard-won wisdom of the concluding section, we see Pereira as a consummate word magician whose easy banter and fresh language constantly defy our expectation with deft leaps and risks."--David Oliveira "The poems, original and new, are fresh, timely, and subversive-noir adventures set in whiskey-light and bloodlust, measured by deft moments of surrealism and surprising, focused imagery. . . . Sam Pereira is an essential voice in American poetry."--M. L. Williams
