[Yuri Solenois · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Transparencies Lifted from Noon" by Chris Glomski is a striking and innovative collection of poetry that explores the themes of time, memory, and the self. The poems are characterized by their sharp imagery, intense emotion, and a keen awareness of the complexities of human experience.

Throughout the collection, Glomski's writing is highly evocative, with his use of metaphor and imagery creating a sense of place and mood. The poems are also highly intellectual, with Glomski drawing on literary and philosophical references to explore his themes. The result is a highly thought-provoking collection that challenges readers to think deeply about their own experiences of time and memory.

Juxtaposition of the unexpected, flavored like Chicago. The pieces written as plays are truly lovely. If I have a complaint, it's that some of these pieces are entirely too long. The opposition doesn't always sustain itself through the entirety of the longer pieces.
