The Romance of Happy Workers
Reviews
Joshua Clover, Third Factory:
“A very elegant book.”
CAConrad:
“Of all the poetry I love, the rarest are those books making me a compulsory vacuum. Anne Boyer stays put once read, and later breaks the surface of my days where I find the nerve to lean on poetry to live. ‘Darkling, who listens?’ she asks, but if trends in nose-to-tail dining are any indication, this is the whole thing coming through the new door. Some of the latest enduring insights, sexy in the city or leaning on the silo, a madness of pleasure awaits when dancing on the hot coals with Anne Boyer!”
Jennifer Moxley:
“Playful, literary, angry, sexy, Anne Boyer’s poems are filled with metamorphoses and composite creatures. Poets become birds, nouns become verbs, language is foliate and feathered. There is a recalcitrant subjectivity at the heart of this book, which grabs the old poets by the throat and then gives them a great big kiss.”
Diane Wakoski:
“In this work, you can find the intersection between Post-Newtonian physics and Hermes Trismegistus.”
