In his introduction to this, Richards’ debut collection, Tomaz Salamun writes "It is inscrutable how Peter Richards produces this religious magma and bathes himself and us in it. How he restores internal time to the work of art."

Poetry. This narrative lyric sequence is lit with a ravishing light: part erotic, part nuclear, entirely mutagenic, dangerously Sublime. From a point both in the past and the future, from a narrow cell that is at once the lyric, the body, a fort, a hospital bed, an escape pod, the mind, and memory itself, the narrator relates in image-rich lines the several rises and falls of a beloved, a queen, a monster, a regime, an imperium, a self, and the self's various selves: as lover, captive, traitor, soldier, sensory apparatus and memory machine. Like Dante's La Vita Nuova, HELSINKI shows how the lyric, while apparently encapsulated by form, is in fact vulnerable to dazzling competing proximities—to Love, to the Past, to Story, to Power, and to Obliteration.

En Burlington, Vermont, trabaja a oscuras y segura Peter Richards, poeta y pintor norteamericano desconocido en lengua española: un poeta que se sale del plato, rompe con la creación al uso (normativa) en un país con una extraordinaria tradición poética y pictórica de ruptura y modificación que está en peligro de extinción y que Richards rescata (reanuda) en solitario, haciendo una poesía de la dificultad inasible, densa, cuyas fuentes no son fáciles de rastrear. Poema a poema siempre encontramos algo que nos conmueve, pugna y espiritualidad que a la vez se nos escapa y resulta en una consternada participación. (José Kozer)
