Poetry. "Clinamen? Sinner man? Cinnamon? In her relentless pursuit of swerving meaning, Heidi Lynn Staples reinvents poetry word for word. GUESS CAN GALLOP is a delight for ear and eye." -Charles Bernstein. "Please read this fine orator, whose poems include the world's battiest job application, a melodious ghazal, pastiches on a nursery rhyme and on Plath, and a sonnet novel"-Caroline Knox.
