Guests of Space
Reviews
Publishers Weekly:
"An entertaining, chatty, omnivorous affair."
Chicago Review:
"Wry observations, sly citations, and witty riffs . . . Razor poems, wise, sorrowful and beautifully pitched."
Lisa Jarnot:
"Spawned from a clan of Baltic translators and companioned with the finest poetry gunslingers of the New World, who better to write an elegy for the West than Anselm Hollo? Here you can revel in ‘shivers of joy' that Hollo is a guest of this space—our space—and that we are in all ways fortunate to have him."
Alice Notley:
"If I say this is a very beautiful but sad book, you might not read it; but you must read it or you won't know enough. Form: the personal sonnet (that is, made Hollo's—can you imagine how tricky that might be?) with shining white space between lines. Metaphysics: of the concrete, and the literary (what one knows because one Reads Books). ‘Does Poetry Help?' ‘Assignment: Look at these lines / Again in a hundred years.'"
Tomaz S alamun:
"Anselm Hollo, Lord of the Northern Skies, the Wise Man laughing, his voice so vivid you can feel his presence while reading. One flows, one enjoys, one starts to cry, one is changed as never before."
