Norman Fischer writes this about Eric Selland's OBJECT "No object that isn't a state of mind or being, no state of mind or being that doesn't appear as an object, an event, a thought, a phrase. This haunting philosophical impasse and delight is the subject of Eric Selland's quietly beautiful book in which nearly every echoing sentence invites pondering. 'The poet screaming inside a fish.' 'A day which is merely a symptom.' Do you know where or who you are?"
-- NORMAN FISCHER Jane Joritz-Nakagawa writes this about Eric Selland OBJECT "Eric Selland finds 'invisible doors' in spaces we did not know existed but are pleased to meet. 'Language is a city' both east and west and at once familiar and unfamiliar in 'the absent presence of memory.' A fine
work both haunting and revelatory from one of the most skillful of contemporary poets."
