-------------- "Emotive and cerebral, giving way to the surrealities of intuition and pushing back with a keen intelligence." –Ruth Williams, author of Flatlands "I am stunned by Kimberly Lambright's verbal acuity, its lighting shifts and sudden, diamond-like stillnesses. 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, author of The Crime of Luck "Artful and wry, smart and moving–Kimberly Lambright's poems are made of such carefully rendered moments that the mundane becomes very wonderfully strange. Ultra-Cabin is a book that will knock you out and invite you in, sometimes in the same brilliant breath." –Kathryn Nuernberger, author of End of Pink "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 (full review at Full Stop) "In short but dense sisterpunk stabs, Lambright's 'pink meat' mind transmits an awareness of large spaces and an attention to specifics that, when taken together, gives the reader this perfect field guide for 'the way you interpret / the dark world happening to you.' The poems of Ultra-Cabin speak to us in a lexicon of shared weirdness that's funny, familiar, and, most of all, understanding. Kim's poems see us for what we are, and still believe we can be beautiful." –Ben Kopel, author of VICTORY |
