Reviews

Here's wildness and art, in right proportion: the wildness is surprise without swagger; the art is graceful and mostly disappearing, and otherwise a little extravagant. As in the case of jugglery (another of Joanie Mackowski's mastered arts), loopiness is nothing without the catch. Dropped clubs, flat cakes, flat notes--where but in poetry is a native gift for clumsiness, sedulously conserved, so praised? [8]

gollark: I actually assumed it was LyricLy pretending to not be LyricLy in some convoluted way.
gollark: Olivia's powers are powerful.
gollark: Wow, you did poorly.
gollark: Ah, there we go.
