Reader reviews for Float

From the publisher

" This stunning, wry collection is a tonic, triggering memory and the knowledge that we all enter poems in medias res-- from anywhere. Rhythmic fragments or grand paragraphs, FLOAT becomes its own mixing board. At times you hear it almost disappear, then reappear as ' total sound.' In a long poem titled ' Times of Day, ' one vertical, vital string, the words ' Zoo / Cage / Jazz' track to John Cage because of interventions earlier in the book, a startling elegy within and without. Cooked or raw, from the title to the end notes, possibilities abound. Alluring, captivating, it's a mustread!" -- Norma Cole
