Anti M Lisa Samuels

Poetry. "Lisa Samuels' beautiful ANTI M is a delicate, dark, expansive, and obviously elliptical text that explores not the opposite but the obverse side of memory. In ANTI M, memories are broken apart and intensified, they have become charged particles. They flicker, not cinematically (though the lovely, enigmatic images included in the book bring film to mind) but with electricity. It is that exciting play of light, cast by shadows and patches of even darker darkness, that makes the language of ANTI M luminous. And it is luminous?this is a gorgeous work."?Lyn Hejinian
