Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-10 00:00:00 Scott Caudill I read about 100 pages, then set it aside. I may read more later. Too much sameness after a while.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-11-16 00:00:00 Raquel White John Haines' poetry is brilliant. His imagination is informed by dark, severe nights on the Alaskan tundra. A place that is much different than just an abstract mental darkness, like modern computer dwelling folk might imagine, like a literary device standing for nothingness, which I think only exists in our heads. It was shocking and beautiful and completely alluring to me that there is a certain magical somethingness about the winter nights that Haines writes about (that feels so lived in!), something that walks and fly's in the darkness, something that meets us nightly in our sleep, something that sparkles in the sky, something that we may only truly approach in death.
