Poetry. "Vangelisti helps us to see that there is always something human in serious poetry and any effort to expropriate the human is an appropriation of its most crucial element: our sense that there is no community if there is no humanity, no general without particulars. Vangelisti's is a delirious art, painstaking and rigorous, the sort of delirium one might imagine in the person who first observed that stationary objects are actually made up of moving particles. While the work is full of willful anachronisms, these are the anachronisms that have never existed until now" - from the foreword by Standard Schaefer.
