Praise for this book include Catie Rosemurgy's comment: "Very early in this book, I gave up and stopped underlining. All of the lines in these poems are my favorite lines. It breaks my heart a little to find out what happens in the next sentence, and that's exactly what I come to poetry for." Another comment by Bob Hicok echoes this sentiment with words that reflect on these lines: "It's human, this need to find order where none exists. / Fire does not have this problem." "The truth, weirdness and economy of that thought give you a sense of the surprise you're in for with Amorak Huey's poems, which are bright and funny and motored in this book by a debate between the part of him that hopes we're going to be OK and the part that worries we're going over a cliff." Huey is an associate professor of writing at Grand Valley State University in Michigan.
