[Here] is a new millennium music: part blues, part punk, part rock: all soul!

-Terrance Hayes, Winner of the MacArthur Genius Grant Fellowship

Floyd writes both from and of 'a wild navigation' and beautifully delimits his territory-'[S]omething as small as a whole world / and as large as alone.' What better map of the human psyche! What the Man Seemed to Say carries us through image and sensation, through the present and the past, deftly sidestepping the too-easy traps of solipsism and abstraction. This book is solid and real and touching-an enlightening, fervent travelogue that, via Floyd's insight and stunning locutions, is as '[s]harp as a bone chip.'
