Description
Poetry. "There is such a thing as a George Quasha poetic line. What it is can be defined, essentially, by one particular aspect of it: its gravitational field. This field makes possible an inner integrity, the line's cohesive dynamic... The preverbs are poetry in some essence, which manages statements that are beautiful and haunting as they bring into the now the imagination in and for itself. What the preverbs also do is to foreground the music of the human voice. This is Quasha's music, although readers get a sense of it as theirs."—Burt Kimmelman
