Book Review Dancing Backwards Toward Pluperfect | Carla Sarett | Trampoline Poetry

·

Carla Sarett wrote a beautiful book review of Dancing Backwards and Trampoline Poetry published it. It is a very thorough and generous review—I’m sure you will enjoy it. Note that their reviews seems to be loaded on one page, one after the other, so if you arrive on my page in the far future, you will need to scroll down, or, faster, just type “dancing backwards” after hitting control F on a keyboard for PCs and it should take you to the review. Very grateful to both Carla and Trampoline for this.

Review of Dancing Backwards Towards Pluperfect by Erin Vachon

·

Very pleased and honored by this very queer book review of Dancing Backwards Towards Pluperfect by Erin Vachon and published in Moist Poetry. Aside from the flattering recommendation, it’s nice to see my work resonating with other queers. And I agree that we need queer poetry right now more than ever as our basic civil rights are being dismantled by this evil regime. I’m also grateful to Han Vanderhart for publishing it in their queer poetry journal, Moist Poetry.

Pleased and surprised to find this lyrical book review by Barton Smock, a brilliant language-kind-of-poet with a heart. Barton published one of the poems (the last long list poem) in Isacoustic, his journal, a few years ago. Find the review here.
