Insofar as Heretofore

"Culture''s cloud chamber and its millions of random vectors drive Aaron Anstett''s INSOFAR AS HERETOFORE. ''Whatever scintillants'' he calls them in ''One Theory,'' an exclamation that''s half-prayer and half come-and-get-me bravado. The poems catch our socio-linguistic lightning flashes, at times fusing the erotic and the spiritual. This book is original and beautiful."—Michael Heller
