Description: Poetry
"That light I like so much in Leslie Scalapino's poems, which seems to derive from her very quiet, zany, spooky, joyous word - love...it's that light that gives me the feeling of being in the right place at the right time when I'm reading her poems. It's like suddenly remembering, oh, that's right, this is where I wanted to be."
Ted Berrigan

"Individualism is the subject and method of Leslie Scalapino's poems, poems in which the lonliness of the individual weighs heavily on every line....Her poems compel because of the unremitting intensity of her emotion, the expressed pain of living in a two-dimensional world where nothing holds."
Baltimore Sun
