'What a capacious tapestry of textures, sound, and a restless quest toward formal possibility. Beyond the many vital themes and questions this book crosses, every poem is wrought with a deeply considered celebration of poetry itself - what it might do, what it might breach, and who it is for. Howe is peerless and I look at her work, happily, with awe'
