More advanced praise for Paper Radio

Submitted by admin on Sat, 10/23/2010 - 20:31

"In Paper Radio, Damian Rogers emerges as a poet of startling clarity, intelligence, toughness, and tenderness. Her gifts for aphorism, for sudden swift changes of mood and perfectly rendered emotional landscapes, are those of a dramatist. There is not a dull moment in this book-and while that alone is a high accomplishment in this age of dullness, Rogers keeps us awake to a purpose.
