Poetry. "Stephen Hemenway's attention to language is constant, and his attention to "reality" is equally faithful. The world of people, of cities and of nature is rendered with an honesty that is possible only in the most serious of poetries. There is a gravity, an acceptance of the responsibilities that speech entails, in every syllable of this beautiful book"--Edward Smallfield. "Pondering and playful, discrete yet expansive, Stephen Hemenway's "books" exude the elegance and emotion of an ideal gallery installation. The whole moving adventure is both conceptual and imbued with unmistakable sensibility defined uniquely through the work alone--a hallmark of compelling poetry"--Stacy Doris.
