2016, 42 Miles Press
Winner of the 42 Miles Press Poetry Award of Indiana University Purchase at Small Press Distribution "Emotive and cerebral, giving way to the surrealities of intuition and pushing back with a keen intelligence." –Ruth Williams, 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, 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, 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) |
