<p>Poetry. Carolyn Forche calls Susana Gardner's first full-length collection, [ LAPSED INSEL WEARY ], "an extended social lyric of longing that refuses isolation because the 'grandmany' is all around, in ancestry and memory and books and shared future.... This poetry is full of heart and intelligence." Geraldine Monk calls it "Disturbingly beautiful" while Elizabeth Treadwell describes the work as "architecturally wild and sturdy."</p>

<p>Poetry. "I don't know another poet so formally daring. Rebellious curlicue and lace significant: the pages gleam with pleasure, finesse and audacious measure of human becoming. A consideration of feminine inheritance, rebirth paroled by langue, a her(o)'s journey as decadently articulated as sea-froth. Find it too pretty at your peril—you'll get pricked by the fine point on this punning"—Catherine Wagner.</p>

Poetry. "CADDISH mourns dishonorable modes of historical masculinity by celebrating our slutty embodiment in a studied poetry that is hyper-literary, arch, and punk rock. In this book Ezra Pound goes in drag as H.D.'s sister and illuminates the modernist poem in its full feminist promise—a gendered-undoing that Modernism promised even as it so often performed masculinized pomp. Involved with the textual layers—the wild dress—of poets from the Pre-Raphelites through the Beats and sounding the DIY of Punk and Pussy Riot, we have here a feminist poetry ready for the ecological age of gender's superfluity."—Alicia Cohen"To be in CADDISH is to be delightfully awash in some strange type of dystopia where the language one swims in is so clear; clever; and refreshing that one doesn't want to stop bathing in its vocabulary that exposes the contradictions we live in and are pained by, in this post-capitalism period. Will we escape the cataclysm to come? CADDISH's beautifully constructed chaos urges us to embrace the complexity as a beacon from a lighthouse. Susana Gardner is our Siren, but with the difference that her song may just lead us to shore."—Joe Ross"The fierce, audacious poems in Susana Gardner's CADDISH weave gorgeous forms and lithe melodies out of broken language and broken love (for what else is a poet to do?). The enthused, garment-rending drama of these 'intense smutty darling dreams' will leave you...quite...cuntstruck. 'Toot allure!'"—Nada Gordon"A good passionate, ocean-tossed read."—Tom Pickard
