Description
"I'll dare call this book of poetry tremendous. That word, rooted in trembling or shaking, fits the book's central emotion of awe. It also fits how Wessels shakes up expectation with nervy feats of imagination, encompassing various fables and animals, castles and Burger Kings, family stories and cosmic enigmas." - Robert Pinsky, author of Proverbs of Limbo
