Review: a first collection that's Ugly in just about every sense, starting with its oddball cartoonish cover; Moments grab you but are quickly lost, in a maddening vortex of an unappealing voice and style that make you recoil at nearly every turn. Which is about par for the course in contemporary poetry, so it's possible that this one maybe ranks somewhere around average in the big grand poetry picture-scheme of things.

Review: A wonderful combination of everything you hardly dare to hope poetry can accomplish. Have been chanting "Sonata" in my head ever since.
