"Gander's verses have a shattering, symphonic quality.--Tess Taylor ""The New York Times"" Powerful, mind-blowing, devastatingly profound, Forrest Gander is among the most extraordinary poets of North American poetry and of the poetry of our time.--Raúl Zurita Restlessly experimental, precise and hallucinatory.-- ""Washington Post"""

"""Powerful, mind-blowing, devastatingly profound, Forrest Gander is among the most extraordinary poets of North American poetry and of the poetry of our time."" -- Raúl Zurita ""Gander’s verses have a shattering, symphonic quality."" -- Tess Taylor - The New York Times ""Restlessly experimental, precise and hallucinatory."" -- Washington Post ""These meditations on time themselves unfold in time. Gander shifts perspective from one poem to another. Sometimes, he speaks in the first person and sometimes in the third, as if the self he is writing about belonged to someone else.…The varied verse forms and shifting points of view in these poems imply that our ways of being with each other are mobile and situational, bound by time, and yet are also transcending it."" -- Langdon Hammer ""Expansive and arresting… a book-length single poem that spans time, space, and narrative perspective against stark and arresting desert environments... Readers will be wowed."" -- Publishers Weekly"
