The almost hallucinatory music in The Book of Uncertain is front and center … fast, powerful, exuberant, joyful, like an extended solo in the so-called “energy music” of jazz—think John Coltrane on tenor, Cecil Taylor at the piano. The waves of sonic charge that break against Uncertain are the music of the poem as war machine, offered as resistance and antidote to “the Doom Program.” Reader: swallow it whole, and take momentary leave of your certainties about the quantum that is poetry in our time.—André Spears
Michael Boughn’s The Book of Uncertain is the only book of poetry that is certain to be more interesting and important than the last poetry book you might have read, unless that book is Jack Clarke’s In the Analogy or perhaps Charles Olson’s Archeology of Morning, or with some certainty The Collected Books of Jack Spicer with commentary by Robin Blaser, and though it’s not poetry but because it might be most helpful in reading the Boughn’s book: Eric Havelock’s Preface to Plato or The Muse Learns to Write.—Joe Napora
A book of contemplation. Hung up between coming and going. Caught lingering, thinking it through. Synapses firing. Heavy to ponder, "architects in eternity / have weighted the dice darkly". Enough so, anyway, to keep it one "burns through a case / of Early Times each week". The point being, is there a point? other than having the opportunity of perhaps considering one. Keeping in mind, "Having nothing to say / is no reason not to say it / with heart". Listen in. "There you have it, Leaving" like being "way up in the blue / with Thelma and Lou," a poem as cinematic a testament to living thought out to its logical conclusions as the Ridley Scott film. Either way you take it, doomed or a joyous sort of crossing over into pure speculative wonder, ‘Chaos’ gets rolled.—Patrick Dunagan

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to GreatBookPrices, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
