"T he Poems in
All Orr/illflry Dfly
demanded to be wrirren. T hey depicr a
lonely, beautiful terrai n between (and including) China and the United
States, and
convey
a sense of exile that is powerful and urgenr. Th rough–
out the collection, Xue Di's
voice
is consistenr, singular, and clear."

"Sarah Manguso's poems weirdly plumb and strikingly ftame what we're
up ag"insr: rhe now in which the Muse
drives
a silver pickup, mystery
only announces itself out of grief for
liS,
and to reach harbot is to under–
stand rhere will be no end of sea rching. I-leI's is a startling, disturbing,
and original voice."

"An ornately strange, elegant in vestigation of our begorren and made
selves.
Methods and language archaic and contemporary, botanical and
anatomical, inflorescenr, coryledonal- with hair and members. Lady bugs
for consolation. A brave new unmalicious mind ."
-CD. Wright

Live Feed,
Tom Thompson leads the pastoral deeply inro a wild
darkness of the here and now. Even more wonderfully, he leads it all
rht' way to new light and hearty wakefuln ess. The project of American
poetry is freshly companioned by these poems."

of the world into verbal energy and rich parrerns of
sound. Iler poems bang about on the page and are a great pleasure to
read."
