Poetry. "There are sixty-three stories in this book of poetry: stories of the naming of peoples in the traditions of the Teutons and the Greeks and the Jews. Imagine all of this information presented to you with a carefulness of what we poets refer to as our prosody: hot prosody, singing sounds, graceful leaps of the lines, well shaped couplets, conversational dexterity—almost eerie in its Rimbaudian perfection. It's delightful—this poet is the antenna of the race."—Lisa Jarnot
