State of the Union

Poetry. "Full of laughter, a razor sharp eye, and a barrage of surprises, Susan Lewis's STATE OF THE UNION propels us through multiple registers of relation, never slackening or losing focus in her furious push toward a love poem worthy of a 'subject which has expired for lack of correct change.' From complexity which leads 'to one wandering eye & a convoluted appetite,' to simplicity which leads to 'albinism & and continuous irrepressible hum,' Lewis's impeccable attention to the 'song of the illusive spheres' will leave you stunned and in stitches. It is an absolutely (disturbing) delight."—Michael Boughn
