Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Priest can sling figurative language with the best of them. . . . The guiding thematic spirit of this entertaining collection may be backwardness, but it showcases a poet whose roving imagination is omni-directional." --"Toronto Star"

"These clever exercises are not only amusing but can playfully upend the most contrived cultural sound byte, and invest it with new meaning. The poet also gives the funhouse treatment to numerous biblical narratives with irreverent glee." "--Scene Magazine"

"Multi-dimensional creativity." --"Poetency & Apoetasy"

"The latest book from Robert Priest is something sick y'all. It's innovative, and the guy is a bit of a master. . . . It's lyrical, mesmerizing and not overtly melodic or word anorexic pomo, but tenderly sublime. . . . This is a sensational book." "--Broken Pencil"

Reseña del editor:

From reverse engineering to phonetic modifications, this innovative anthology reveals surprising meaning behind familiar subject matter. Through the Bible and other cultural narratives, the featured verse conducts numerous intriguing lyrical experiments, making this compendium a welcome addition to any collection of poetry.
