Summary: ....
Review: kris t kahn creates his own convention, his own envelopes to push. His words remind you that you really are here. Spinning you off into a new exploration of how things came to be and what it all means, he examines the mundane to prove that it is anything but, chasing language out of constricting fences and into open fields. arguing with the troubadour is a microcosm of our existence, about the urge to self-define and redefine. kahn's words will leave you wondering what language you spoke before reading these pages. -C. E. Laine, poet, author of Allegory and The Weight of Dust

Summary: amazing and fresh
Review: kris t. kahn's first book of poems is beautifully written and sudden in its haunting grace. His poems probe the deepest part of a human psyche and bring back a masterpiece truly new and aware. His voice is solid and whole as every stanza brings the reader to a pivot of emotion, undeniable in its effect. Having read his book, I feel that it is one of the strongest I have encountered of the present generation and he will without a doubt make his presence known.

Summary: I await what is more substantial.
Review: The blurbery on this book is hilarious. The writing is abysmal & generic. In fact, it is so generic that it isn't even worth reviewing. But because of the pretentious blurbs, I had to. Poor line breaks (constant at breaks at 'ands' and 'withs' & 'thes') & cliched- this is typical college-aged rants with the occasional reference to "important" writers so that way the readers know how well read this 'poet' is & also to establish a connection between this doggerelist & a great poet when there isn't one. (Get all that?) Pretty 'deep' huh? Anyone giving this a positive review has to be a pal. Note how they say nothing specific. Now who was I reviewing?
