"Lyrically gorgeous and real poetry. This book is a bright spot in a bleak time."
– Peter Gizzi
Grundy invokes Sappho, Mingus, Storm Ophelia; Rukeyser, Rilke, Rodefer; the aesthetics of resistance, the insistence of history: luxury and voluptuousness, peace and pleasure, beauty and order, the questions that still remain unanswered and the problems that remain unsolved.
