About the Book

‘Although this is a poetry interested in, and capable of, the ecstatic, it is kept disciplined by toughness and a sense of the reality, and the challenge, of suffering. Too restless to look for totems, the process of experience remains its vital poetic concern. The poetry is often risky and experimental, yet its experiments never seem calculated or part of some project or manifesto … the restless jumping from place to place pays off with a real liveness and emotional electricity, an interrogative energy that Mateer can switch at will to make creative connections among disparate topics and experiences.’ — Tom Bishop, Antipodes
