review 1: I don't really have the vocabulary to talk about poetry, and usually don't read it, but this was wonderful and engaging and weird. It reminded me of reading Philip Lamantia, at least a little, in the surrealism of the images--and that, like Lamantia, there seem to be secret strings running through these poems that make them coherent despite their seeming incoherence. There's a method to the madness, even if I can't describe that method. The book is endlessly quotable and worthy of being read again and again and again.
review 2: I adore the poetry in this collection. I just get this feeling of sense hiding below the nonsense, this completely logical thread that could be grasped if only I could lunge fast enough. Always, though, it remains elusive. The poems t... morewist and turn, making logical leaps that schizophrenics would scratch their heads at. However, somehow, the poems craft startling and surprising images. They evoke unexpected and novel feeling emotions. Certainly, these poems are wonderfully entertaining. But...there is more than that. There is more than that. less
