Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

"These poems revel in the precision of their own comic-constructed logic. It is a matter of fact that anything may turn into anything and hold, feelings encouraged to burst - "the impossibility of tidiness." I'm all for poetry that, like Covey's, wants to pull down the sky." - Anselm Berrigan "I admire these multi-tasking, speed of light, postmodern poems: the "deferential machinery" of their precise absurdities and comic veerings, and the surprises ignited in almost every line. Each text is wild yet exact. Pulse and synapse quickening, cerebral, dabbling in the erotics of geometry, but also cartoony, this is lip smacking word art for a hungry 21st century citizenry." - Amy Gerstler
