Poetry. "Andrew Levy, in PAPER HEAD LAST LYRICS refreshingly overlaps and engages the paired territories of language and thought, of speech and writing, of the social sphere and the textual sphere in a book that doesn't collapse politics and actually existing social relations into a gooey borderless mess, but rather moves through them with equal amounts of anger, surveillance, emotive twinges, comedic timing, and uncanny combinations"—Jeff Derksen.
