by Remi Recchia (Author)
These poems engage with what it means to be an authentic human-animal: to be endangered and empowered at once, to be "harsh and golden and brave," to compassionately inhabit the complex space between the poles of this collection's title. Quicksand/Stargazing amazes me with its range of forms and shapes, all woven through with a voice that is ecstatic, urgent, tender, and unflinching. This voice insists that it is still possible to seriously, honestly, unironically believe in love. "I am not embarrassed by most things" proclaims Remi Recchia, and how lucky that makes the readers of this brilliant and necessary book.
