Reviews

The contest judge, poet Diane Wakoski, said the work was a

powerful and terrifying ironic vision of twentieth-century urban madness and the desire to survive it not by love, understanding, historic or mythic renewal by death, or even humor. But rather, by blinding wit, piercing irony and an uncompromising attention to truth.[8]
