Poetry. "Inman reaquaints us with a full blown sensual apprehension of language—a luxury we can't or don't permit ourselves when semantics predominates.... It is Inman's pleasure to explore the warp and woof of the fabric of our linguistic intentions with all the meticulous humor words such as warp and woof evoke. Here the substantiating quality of the talisman, if nothing else, tranforms our perceptions."—Joan Retallack
