Poetry. "In her best book yet, Donna de la Perri re gives us a poetry event for the ages... As the title promises, she runs the gamut from tender and lyrical poems of love and loss to the Dionysian madness of terror. The great setpiece here, 'First Love, ' details the chilling life and after-life of a rape as does no other poem I know, but there's much strong work here, from the sonorous, hollowed out criture of 'I Am Trying to Say Fire, ' to the noisy consonants and slurry vowels of 'Mock Trial'--sound orchestration like Lorine Niedecker at her best."--Kevin Killian
