Description
Poetry. "We all want to know the face of the future, given the broken tablets and barely recognizable mirror images of our human selves, rampaging and chattering. Can language show us something new, something unfolding in time? It's so hard to smash apart sentences and their logic without also ruining our commitment to old ethics, but here we have something like that, a new face, weird and unblemished. This collection is something wonderful."—Fanny Howe
