Editorial Reviews

Review

I can and have read Morgan Parker's poems over and over....She writes history and pleasure and kitsch and abstraction, then vanishes like a god in about 13 inches and I mean *that* is really cool. --Eileen Myles

I love these poems by Morgan Parker. They tell everything exactly like it is, and they don't let us off the hook--about how we run this country, about race, about how we spend our time. They treat our private, public, and online lives with all the love and scorn they deserve. They hit you with the authority and moral clarity of Langston Hughes, and have the omnivorous eye of Frank O'Hara. They have a New York School sensibility, but it's a new New York--a more polarized, unequal, and privileged New York. These poems are also just beautiful. You will want to say them to yourself. --Matthew Rohrer
