Poetry. "Trimmed like a sail toward its own origin, ESSE rings with a spare precision. David Mutschlecner uses subtle sound relationships to polish the edges of his language and to accentuate its physicality. Returning always to the question of essence, but from constantly shifting angles, he manages to draw parallels between the living word and the living body, narrowing ever closer to 'the inceptive name / where I too might again / be present.' It's a goal that, in its constant pulling back, pulls us onward. Mutschlecner brings us to its brink."—Cole Swensen
