Poetry; Winner of the 42 Miles Press Poetry Award, 2016.
"Emotive and cerebral, giving way to the surrealities of intuition and pushing back with a keen intelligence." –Ruth Williams "I am stunned by Kimberly Lambright's verbal acuity. And there are images in this book that would wake Breton from the dead. Hats off to this uniquely adventurous and mature first volume." –Christopher Howell "Artful and wry, smart and moving – Kimberly Lambright's poems are made of such carefully rendered moments that the mundane becomes very wonderfully strange." –Kathryn Nuernberger "The claim, 'Like a standardized test, I’m made / to instigate guessing,' does not come off as coy because the poem, and the collection, argue for a serious consideration of the kind of guessing that constitutes living." –Kathleen Reeves (excerpt from review at Full Stop) "The poems speak to us in a lexicon of shared weirdness." –Ben Kopel |
