May Apple Deep | Michael Sikkema
Poetry. "Michael Sikkema's May Apple Deep, both sweet and tart, is the pastoral for our time. Filled with the energy of opposites, with 'a gangsta soundtrack' where 'overpasses / become sniper towers, ' is a book length lyric punctuated by grids or fragments of the grid like structure. Electric and challenging, quietly terrifying in places, trying to break through ('trespass') 'all this noise, ' desire ('household magic') makes a run for it and, in the end, wins out." Norma Cole"
