In e. smith sleigh's post structural poetry collection, These Things are a One Thing, she reflects on shared early millennial life experiences. Her thoughts are at once fresh, somber, affirming and funny. Sleigh dug out buried truths. The architecture of her language is original and dynamic. Her words are the reader's to possess. They entertain and stain the consciousness. Sleigh shows the reader how to listen for the enigmatic. She brought me along, down this path, into the present, into the world in general, and into her world as well. Every poem in the collection contains the words thing or things. The things can be friend or foe. They remind or admonish. They delight. In her poem, a winter remembrance, you find that the things cause her to remember: in the wintry city of words the things visited me without criteria they came to judge without warning they appeared in the sound of my footsteps crunching frost... I will leave it to the reader to finish the poem within sleigh's book and to join her on the expedition. --Lyn Plihal, literary critic
