Huteson's quiet, questing voice erases perceived distinctions between place and time as within his spare, formal structures we encounter local apocalypses haunting liminal spaces-dusk, dawn, the watches of the night, shorelines, ferries, alleys, unoccupied rooms, micro-interactions (human and other), the memory of/desire for shared meals, gaps between city buildings where the sky breaks through. While many of these poems are set in and around Taiwan, they glorify varieties of universal breakage, tarnish, and decay, each presided over by flocks of middling angels, smudged guardians of no specific rank. The tone is especially intriguing-a kind of queasy affection and radiant grief that serves to subtly set us off-balance.
