In her debut, Andrea Baker intermingles language and visual art to create a book unique to the current American poetry landscape. Chosen by judge Donald Revell for the Third Annual Slope Editions Book Prize.

"Baker avows that sight is visionary and that Vision is transformative. This is her 'massive simplicity,' a Blake-like virtue surely, in which the disruption of the eye by light, of words by breath (and by the breath-taking line breaks that are Baker's most beautiful signature) is chaos becoming...cosmic and wide."  - Donald Revell

"Andrea Baker's radical thought-syntax-consciousness brings great joy: you feel, as you often do reading the best writers, that every word and breath here is one inevitability, a simple choice of one assenting, loving collection of possibilities."  - Jean Valentine
