“What we have here is a lovely collection of Nadelberg inventions. These inventions are for telling it like it is. In order to do this they variously prick your arm, burn down, protest, pretend, and dance, to name just a few. . . . These are indeed very Bright Brave Phenomena, that’s right.”–Rod Smith

By turns disarmingly droll and hysterically sad, Amanda Nadelberg’s singular use of everyday language transports us into a world where uncanny juxtaposition and unabashed repetition engender entirely new meanings.

Reminiscent of Stein and Schuyler, these poems build a playful and heartbreaking universe from ordinary moments, weather, landscape, and memory.
