Robyn Ewing astonishes with Odd Swallows, which slashes across genre to mix high and low art, stealing democratically from places ranging from comic books to Milton. Less a poetry book than a political document, Ewing presents our world with a syllogistic logic that at once captivates and saddens.

Robyn Ewing takes a frank look at the world in these sharp, funny pieces, but with a mind so acrobatic that she makes it look brand new and not quite so impossible ... the sheer dazzle, zip, and bite of each line makes this one of the best books you’ll read this year. - Cole Swenson

Through all its verbal and ekphrastic mischief, Odd Swallows brings something entirely vital and spiritually tender forward to this moment of the American poem.  Suddenly, Robyn Ewing is a Vaughan, a Crashaw amongst us, tending and troubling the soul through its eyes.
- Donald Revell
