In the Name of the Neither

by Gustaf Sobin

Poetry. Sobin's poetry grants us a clarity of vision but most of all it grants the capacity for silence and for hearing in silent stillness the infinite possibility of generation and renewal--Robert Baker, American Book Review. Sobin's work enacts vocal gestures that take their bearing from the breath itself, intuiting their way, as `air rushing through air, ' back to some originary grammar, long since fragmented almost past recognition--Andrew Zawacki, Boston Review of Books. Sobin has always been a supreme poetic stylist. His rhythms contain remarkable subtlety, and his use of the syllable as the basic unit of sound may be more precise than any contemporary poet--Mark Wallace, Verse
