Synopsis
"Just as one feels the density, the pressure of the earth in the hope of the diamond 'waiting in its blue haze' one hundred and fifty miles down, so these poems flare with light precisely because their vision is sharpened by the impediments, the irony of 'Marie Antoinette moving her jewels aside for the blade.'" - Tess Gallagher, reviewing a previous edition or volume
