Description
"Weier writes with the flair of a virtuoso and the tenderness of a lover. The poet's double, the violinmaker, lingers over the heft and shine of Weier's work. We hear everywhere in this book the compulsive rhythms of their attentions. Weier's is the music of a poet who knows the world in its terrible wonder and loss. A daring and accomplished book!" - Dennis Cooley
