And a nice review of Pear Slip on GoodReads from reader Sophia:
Pear Slip is a wonderful word-scape! So beautiful and innovative, as in “How to Write, How to not Write about Pears:”
-So I wrote a poem about this, called it ‘Genesis’ left Milton’s
Serpent but changed his apple to a pear (pears are juicier) ate,
Exposed wet teeth marks like Adam’s next to my wide bite.-“Pared, Canned” reminds me of “The Mouse’s Tale” from Alice in Wonderland. Matthew Hittinger, along with Randall Mann, Andrew Demcak, and Charles Jensen, are all poets to watch. These are the artists who are redefining literature. I recommend reading this book to everyone.
Enjoy and Happy New Year!
