Poetry. The prose poems in CURSIVISM, like the form of writing after which the book is named, approach their subjects boldly, parsing instants of memory with complex, unbroken strokes. "I love Will Hubbard's CURSIVISM. In discrete little blocks of prose that move like poems Hubbard achieves a humble universality and a beautiful amalgam of public and private mysteries. There is something about the deftness with which he speaks of books, family—especially his father—and the changing light and passing qualities of the natural world that is a great comfort to read. In this miniature space he's created that is both private and public, both a physical space and a mental space, I feel welcomed"—Matthew Rohrer.

“The painter Uccello famously was in love with the concept of perspective and I think Will Hubbard is, too. In his first collection, CURSIVISM, Hubbard sets up a series of poem pieces that all exalt into a grand poetry scene. The pieces and the scene are gorgeous and they fit together and also exist separately. When I read this book, I thought immediately of apotheosis and Uccello’s ideas and what that might mean for the divine to truly be in the everyday. This book gives me clues and it gives me an answer—which is that perspective is everything we are searching for in this lifetime. Hubbard has figured this out for us. Let this book show you the way.”
