rodneywilhite's review against another edition
5.0
Formally, I find this book very exciting: a series of short prose passages/untitled poems that skate across time. At first I was a bit reluctant to follow the thread of digressions, but eventually I warmed to it and just loved it. The handling of time, the associative weaving of content, it all just mesmerized me. I guess the immediate antecedent that comes to mind would be Midwinter Day by Bernadette Mayer, but whereas that book covers the events of one day, this covers most of an entire life. This is such a deft and subtle book. Recommended.
