Just excellent. I feel reading this book the way I felt when I first heard M.I.A.'s Arular--something like: This is it. This is what we make today or This is what we make today that we couldn't before. Sly off-rhymes, permutations, echoes--the most precise & exciting book of poetry I've read in what feels, as I read it, like too long a time. I wasn't crazy about Starred Wire, so this surprised me (and makes me think I need to go reread Starred Wire).

I loved this book. Mlinko's verse is always surprising, pleasingly cerebral yet feeling-full. I enjoyed this book immensely and continue to re-read my fav poems from it. Highly recommended.
