Poetry. "So much in g-point almanac: id est (9.22-12.21) is ventured; so much here is profound. Kevin Varrone meets, dares, slips past what is assumed to be reality; language, volant, 'fails, too,' leaving us with 'what's beyond the said thing.' His poetry shivers with hairline fractures, the same as the cities he describes, with familiarities folded into oddnesses. Over and over, he moves us to spaces where we find ourselves surprised that we are so moved. 'How to put it all in,' he asks, 'the hollow earth, three cities, one sheet of paper?' But he does"--Marcella Durand. Varrone is co-founder of Beautiful Swimmer Press. He teaches at Temple University and the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. This is his first full-length collection.
