Getting a book review is always scary. To me it’s like getting a paper back. Since I couldn’t spell or punctuate for most of my academic career, and because I had the poor timing to be born before word processors and AI, it was never a pleasant experience.
Recently, the journal Presence and editor Mary Ann Miller sent my book out for review. I’ve pasted in scans of below. I guess I got a solid B+ or so, and I’m grateful for exposure, especially since books by like of Gioia and Mariani are reviewed in the same journal. High cotton for this poet.
