Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-10 00:00:00 Michele Martinez I studied with Mr. Snediker several years ago in an American literature course. He's brilliant, and this is viewed as a significant book for queer theory. I respect and appreciate his readings and insights into Emily Dickinson:: few before him had given me such insight into the genre and era-stretching influence and power of her poetry. She was a fantastic writer, and Snediker does her great justice. I am glad that he was able to infuse his own personal dealings and experiences into a book that tries to regenerate queer theory from the fragmentation and self-shattering that permeates it. I look forward to his book on Disability Theory that has not yet been released, but is forthcoming.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-03-11 00:00:00 Seth Graham Neither a true dictionary, nor quite a book of literary criticism, this strange collection is guided by wonder, and thus a worthy companion to Moby Dick. By the author's own direction, it is not meant to be read cover to cover, but picked through as feels right.
