"Joanie Mackowski's hypnotizing View from a Temporary Window is filled with Kafka-like transformations and metamorphoses and haunted by a sense of the body's strangeness. She writes in a relaxed and lucid manner that pays scrupulous attention to both the imaginary and the real, and to what is uncanny in each." - John L. Koethe "Joanie Mackowski's seriously iridescent, recombinant erotics are both delicate and daring. Her great subject - the permeability of self and world - yields oddly composite embodiments; perception and scale are freshly imagined, figured with elegance and an inventiveness that thrills. These are inexhaustible poems, shimmering with amplitude." - Alice Fulton "Joanie Mackowski's new collection of poetry demonstrates once again her superb combination of formal acuity, imagistic invention, and stylistic bravado. What an exceptional poetic verve there is in these exquisite and delightfully reckless poems! No one writes more passionately from a poetics of altered perspectives - here, the unreal is actual, and the actual is transcendent. Like origami unfolded upon your table, these poems reveal the blueprints of the universe." - David St. John"  Be the first to write a customer review
