"The gorgeously made poems in 'The Spokes of Venus' suggest he self-reflexivity of the beholder and the nuances of perception: the slippage between object and viewer. The process of experiencing the world deeply, of venturing beyond the literal, beneath the surface, becomes a form of love in these brilliant meditations on process and creativity. Whether the object is painting or dance, installations or music, Frank's elegant, cerebral poems evoke all the senses in richly condensed lines: a syntax that fibrillates with radiant linguistic spokes- insights so fresh that one can't help but be amazed and instructed: "A god can see something / that does not yet exist in the world."
