Industry Reviews
"In equal parts passionate and stylistically confined, an ambitious effort that never quite soars beyond its method."
Kirkus Reviews (05/15/2001)
"Large forces of imagination gave D'Aguiar the strength to write this sequence of eight-line stanzas. Rhyme and rhythm meld into a nonchalantly bold whole of passion, wit and drama."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review (08/05/2001)
