Reviews

"Reading Lindsay Illich's rile & heave is for me not unlike an enjoyable case of hypnagogia, in which the mind plays between wakefulness and sleep and vacillates between the real and surreal, coherence and fragmentation. Illich's poems are full of grammatical dynamism; her verbing is unpredictable and often surprising. Most significantly, in the hearts of these poems a pulse thrums, an intensity centered on memory. Illich's language reveals how memory is ultimately imaginal, complex, and dreamlike. This is a beautiful debut."
