Psychedelic Norway takes form as site of play and a place for the rupture of expectations. Sentence, folktale, confession, pop quiz—all allow for the chaotic impulse behind the imagination, defying the tyranny of orthodoxies with a visionary midwestern populism that argues for enchantment as the moral imperative of our time.
From "a prayer for dropouts":
. . . you realize you are treading light, you,wherever you are, alone at the booth in an empty river town, buying a ticket for a movie which is also your life, a movie waiting for youto become its field of light

In a cycle of poems so dark they burn-blind your inner eye, Shame stalks Forgiveness as bystander angels bear helpless witness. Dear Corpse invites us to escape with the author across a landscape littered with desiccated, gnawed-out lucubrations on what it means to be human—and each step of the way is riveting.
 Ed Bok Lee, author of Mitochondrial Night
