Poetry. "Anne-Adele Wight's OPERA HOUSE ARTERIAL pursues a critical mass of opera houses. Opera house to draw borders. Opera house to recognize neighbors. Opera house to perform and invent. Opera house to illustrate the elemental. In these poems, one's own opera house is taken up in Wight's invitation to 'discuss and debate as a group exercise.' Wight takes seriously the work of setting the stages, orchestrating the scores, and cueing the voices. She does not forget to acknowledge their limits."—Michelle Taransky

"Drawn to water, we chase ourselves as anything. So cities, or insistent return to the arteries—here, in Wight's work, bright red blood as music. There, the opera house again, planetary: poem as through street, getting you where you need to go. Roam this globe, astral debris."—Ryan Eckes
