"... full of known earthly places like the Sahara, 'Old Russia,' and
Heathrow Airport, jumbled together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle map of the
world. Art, artifacts, things, and people partake of each other's humanity and
objecthood. Everything is sympathetically alive, part of an encompassing order. Edgar's poems are unlike any I've ever read: deep, beautiful, and laugh-out-loud funny."
John Ashbery
