Poetry. "This book is so good that I keep wanting to write, 'Dear Anne-Adele Wight, I love your poems and...' No, that's not right. 'Dear Anne-Adele Wight, you change me with your poems...' No, that's silly. 'Dear poet, look what you have done to me. Leading me out to the spindly forests of inclination, barely ready for the foreign elements surging from your poetry, your poetry I am surrounded by and in love with, and live in fear of, how, do, you, do, this, to, me?' With love."—CAConrad

"SIDESTEP CATAPULT is a deeply empathetic and superbly special book. Anne-Adele Wight's phrasings perform subtle critiques that articulate exigencies along social curves. Biometric cues pop up. The quotidian is presented as melting images of muted strangeness in the form of sound crystals, uremic frost, fault lines, and thyroid necklaces. Wight unravels the multiplicity of contexts that gives discursive life a present and presence."—Brenda Iijima

Anne-Adele Wight lives in Philadelphia, works with the series Poets and Prophets, and writes as much as she can. She talks to plants and animals and considers herself lucky when they talk back. She is worried about the fate of the biosphere and hopes for a reversal, but doesn't count on it.
