Reviews

[Rodney · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm one of those people who'd five-star a transcription of Mohammad just breathing, but as dazzling as the books he's written since can be, the knotty, measured music of this first collection, humming with form and mystery, is the one I go back to most often. The craft floors, but the music's in the hovering.
