Congratulations! It's a lovely review.
The book deserves it, too. It's very cool, very powerful. I'm finding that I have to read it in tiny bits otherwise it's like being hit full-on with big, big emotions.
Proper emotions, though - not just clever words. That's rare, particularly now, when things can become detached to the power of 10.
I think (just subjective) that language can be too codified, lost some power, weak representations. The poetry in American Divine seems to reclaim it, in a sense.
And Congratulations again!
