"Clevidence invites us in deeper to the complications of which we ourselves are a part, to participate in the tangle, knowing there is no other way, save by the lovely irritation of the world itself, to gain the great pearl."—Dan Beachy-Quick, Colorado Review
"The luminous fourth book from Clevidence takes a demonstrated interest in gaps and redaction."—Publishers Weekly
