For Brooklyn poet Anselm Berrigan, the political arrives in pieces, settling across his sprawling poems like dew or debris. Berrigan has always matched his experimental drive with a personable quality.--Michael Brodeur, Boston Globe
Anselm Berrigan's voice continues be one of the most refreshing in contemporary American poetry. --Virginia Konchan, Galatea Resurrects
In Come in Alone, Anselm Berrigan plays with space like a painter with the prosody of a poet. Written as infinitely looping sentences around the page, the poems act as a frame to space, outrunning thought with quickness, openness, humor, and protest. They are simultaneously inviting and impermeable, making familiar language uncanny with every turn around the page.
pre-labor stress with all-star fatigue as day glo habit turning exquisite grime into corners
