Praise for A. Van Jordan
"For several books now, A. Van Jordan has been proving himself master of the dramatic monologue.... With an imagination illuminated by empathy, Jordan inhabits the eye of the camera, the eye of the actor, and the 'I' of a viewer tethered to image and history."
-Terrance Hayes
"A. Van Jordan is one of the most capacious, deep-structural imaginations in American poetry today."
-Linda Gregerson
"[A. Van Jordan] finds evocative new ways to connect us to a shared storytelling heritage."
-Entertainment Weekly
