Reviews

[Michael Vagnetti · Rating 5 out of 5]

Light's everywhere, and so is the body in nature, and this is a book that is opaque and lucid at the same time, and that's how you can understand things.

"Like something scribbled/in a trance by my locked body"

[Jacob]

“strafe of missiles/breaking the quartz cliff, snow on a tape of World War/songs, snow on an old film.”
