'''What makes the beauty of a shattered thing?' reads a line kerneled inside Oni Buchanan's wildly inventive Spring, a question thrusting up through the poem like an emergent seedling. Beauty and shatter are everywhere in this book. It's no surprise to learn that Buchanan is a classical pianist; the dazzling mathematics of her forms reach for sounds we've not heard yet, and her playful improvisations travel - with humor, heart, and unfailing nerve - back to the Metaphysicals, Dickinson, and Cummings, and forward into uncharted territory.'' Mark Doty, author of My Alexandria and Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems
