Poetry. "Loosely based on Japanese tourist manuals from the 1930s, these minimalistdistillations are flavored with an ambient exoticism that never quite adds up to any realplace on the map; instead, they create one on the page, rooted in tight sounds andstartling juxtapositions. 'Tiny altars/salt and pepper'-- Coulton's ear and eye are deft at picking out the other within us and dazzling us with its flares" --Cole Swensen. "In passing world pictures, ephemeral images float across the horizon we know as poetry.Bridging culture and time, these poems cast a fresh and subtle light" --Elizabeth Robinson.

Poetry. "In a triptych of agile forms, this marvelous book faces the foreign frankly and openly, opening it up and making openings for it, ultimately bringing it within, without domesticating it even slightly. At its center is the truly astonishing 'open book,' written in a startlingly inventive hybrid genre that plays narrative off against rapid-fire associations and saucy meta-fictional echoes. The whole works seamlessly and shows an extremely accomplished poet surpassing herself to enter brand new territory, territory that manages to be both foreign and intimate at the same time"—Cole Swensen.
