PRAISE FOR THE VERBS OF DESIRING
“In Renée Ashley’s poems, all parts of speech behave as verbs, each one freighted with desire. Hers is work abuzz with existence, action, and occurrence. I love the surprising textural variety here, the heady music. Via linguistic experiment and complex emotional investigation, Ashley has created a poetry possessing vivid, necessary knowledge.”
