"Have you been here? That dark place where all the drama and suspense and multiple perspectives and pacing of film transforms your little, sordid affair into something far bigger and haunting and destructive. I think the secret to Siken's power/intensity is in his line length; those long lines allow for a simultaneous feverish exhalation, a letting it all out, while also a feverish inhalation, a keeping it all in, a not letting go. This isn't my brand of poetry--gritty confessional--per se, but when it's done this well, I feel a part of the fever."
"I loved this book when I read it a few years ago. Sharp striking images. It was chosen for the Yale Series of Younger Poets in 2005 and has an intro by Louise Gluck."
