... reminds us that poetry can be playful and deadly serious in the same moment.
... achieves a saturated, sensuous beauty along with its high tensions and apprehensions.

Reed cyclones through a dreamscape full of sorrow and protest in his enchanting and enigmatic second collection. Weaving mythology and scripture with literature, film, music, and political speech, Reed offers a historical, personal, and prophetic tapestry that reflects on civil injustice. His musical style is simultaneously his most exceptional and problematic quality; when he is specific, he is scintillating.
