As a long-time follower of Rasula's work, I had the highest expectations for Wreading, and I was not disappointed; all the hallmarks of his impressive career are on display here: enviable erudition, lively style, laser-sharp perceptiveness, and fiercely independent (and bracingly unorthodox) stances accompanied by concomitant conviction. --Craig Dworkin, author of Dictionary Poetics: Toward a Radical Lexicography Rasula is always perfectly lucid; the clear and forceful is the default mode of his prose, and on every page I find moments where he rises from that to the lyrical, to the emphatically stylish. It's a wonderful relief to read a book of criticism that deals with such important issues in contemporary poetry, and does so in such an elegant manner. --Mark Scroggins, author of Louis Zukofsky and the Poetry of Knowledge
