Reviews

  • At first, I skimmed through the book without reading the first few pages, which explains a LOT. I was very lost, but blown away once I read the explanation and understood what was going on. This is such a unique piece, the cultures, the language, the storyline- it’s all too good!!!

  • This collection works, and it is weird. After about two poems I found myself able to follow along easier than I had feared. It is something that works on different levels for me.

  • Excellent

  • A really fine book by a fine poet. Dance. Change the world. Dance
