Poetry. "Jeffrey Jullich finds the royal road to the unconscious dead-ending at the entrance to a scary Philip Johnson megalith: "The tongue of St. Anthony in a glass box, that's/ My childhood for you, in technicolor, that and a/ Game of marbles on a hotel lobby floor." In this Psychopathology of Everyday Life, however, accident becomes deliberation, as Jullich deploys his verbal tangles with pleasure, this and mastery, as an antidote to suffering: "ilk amazon kin/ mustesteem same azimuth." Poet conceal thyself! (I mean...) Like psychic space ("a sea coast pounded by/ drummers sleek in their wetsuits"), this book is at once comprehensible, strange, and exciting. It places you at the fascade, and puts the rock in your hand"--Stacy Szymaszek.

Jeffrey Jullich finds the royal road to the unconscious dead-ending at the entrance to a scary Philip Johnson megalith: "The tongue of St. Anthony in a glass box, that's/ My childhood for you, in technicolor, that and a/ Game of marbles on a hotel lobby floor." In this Psychopathology of Everyday Life, however, accident becomes deliberation, as Jullich deploys his verbal tangles with pleasure, this and mastery, as an antidote to suffering: "ilk amazon kin/ must esteem same azimuth." Poet conceal thyself! (I mean….) Like psychic space ("a sea coast pounded by/ drummers sleek in their wetsuits"), this book is at once comprehensible, strange, and exciting. It places you at the fascade, and puts the rock in your hand. --Stacy Szymaszek
"You critters leeching off the hermaphrodite" should beware of the set-ups here: they come from all directions: the punchlines tell stories, the poems themselves err beyond the map, often into landscapes "blistered from the pure." Some of these lines will floor you -- "Effeminate / waist topped by a facsimile feotus" -- making you ask: uh, ask? --Brian Kim Stefans
