Poetry. Winner of the Marsh Hawk Press Poetry Prize 2008. "Ways that may have been impossible to fold, in successfully folding here, grow from impossibility to possibility. Every idea in this book is a fold understanding how to increase area and flexibility within apparent confines (as in pop-up books). As scale shifts, large and small scale blossoming, the heart, the pulse--moments fold and unfold in a dance of patterns in which we and everything that exists participate, as impossible as that can seem"--Contest Judge Thylias Moss. "The ceaseless deformations [of these poems] hover between organic and mannerist topologies. These terrific and brave poems entrust themselves to that wager. And you can too"--Tenney Nathanson.
