Reviews

“There?s no such thing as mundane reality in this eclectic, weirdly entertaining collection.” – Toronto Star

“Lindsay, despite his range of allusions and at times Stevensian titles ? presents with a greater seriousness of subject matter and thus a less lunging panoply of forms, though variety is there in rampant anaphora?, taut line breaks, and sectional poems versus sock-it-to-ya lyrics.” – Marrow Reviews
