Sonja Skarstedt’s book is often beautiful but never chaotic. In the title poem, which presents an Apollonian understanding of a Dionysian concert, she encompasses a great deal of the chaos of contemporary life with lucidity. Her feeling for the urban landscapes of Montreal is strong, but she can also evoke the milieu of the American Southwest, as in her suite called “Arizona Circumferences.” Skarstedt has a capacious sensibility and a sharp, image-laden style to express what she imagines and experiences."

Edition Notes
Includes bibliographical references (p. 105).
“The writing is amazingly tangible, all six senses on alert.... There’s such tightness of focus here, and such a passion for capturing the moment in all its specificity. So many journeys as well, and so much celebration of city life with all its traffic jams and shopping malls, things most poets seem to totally ignore.... The Arizona poems were especially interesting, very evocative, yet restrained, the inner eye holding itself back...”
