Poetry. "In the continuing battle between life and death at the end of the century, Michael Gottlieb's GORGEOUS PLUNGE (poems) declares itself on the side of life. As a phenomenal account of self-consciousness within structures it can only partially authorize, Michael Gottlieb's work addresses the broad horizons of utopoia, the chilling defiles of the economy, and the scrutable immediacies of everyday life"—Barrett Watten.
