Reviews
Haunting, a composition of austere beauty and experiment . . . Reid's voice is a true other . . . One reads this debut book with wonder, catching blur and motion of moments unreeling with unexpected turns . . . This work is an excellent flip-book in the best sense that invigorates as it deforms our encounter with words, words that we meet on the road, with mysterious, a near-gasping recognition., The title of this wonderful first book of poetry suggests a language installation . . . in which strips of language hang from the ceiling in a way that the viewer can only read them by entering their maze, happily lost because intimate with each detail . . . Rick Reid offers us a living as well as a text. The destination recedes as the present moment holds up the glare of its mirror-shard. But the intimations can also be profound . . . the shudder and color of stop-time.

Synopsis
a groundbreaking poetry collection and a work of interval, delay and retracing. Each page serves as a frame that superimposes itself temporally, aurally and visually on the pages that come before and after., "Rick Reid is one the most startling, exciting, and innovative poets now writing. He is doing nothing less than reimagining and redefining the boundaries of our poetry. The future of poetry starts here." --David St. John, author of Prism This groundbreaking poetry collection is a work of interval, delay, and retracing--writing of shifts of silence. Each page serves as a kind of frame that superimposes itself temporally, aurally, and visually on the pages that come before and after to produce a process of both afterimage and surfacing. Inspired by the process of painting and over-painting a canvas--the perceptual and image-layering found in processes of superimposition-- to be hung from the ceiling by strings of varying length explores both the creation and decay of memory and perception through phases of sound and space, whereby seeing and writing generate and erase themselves simultaneously., This groundbreaking poetry collection is a work of interval, delay, and retracing; a writing of shifts of silence. Each page serves as a kind of frame that superimposes itself temporally, aurally, and visually on pages that come before and after. Rick Reid is a conceptual artist and writer currently living in Brooklyn, New York.
