Praise for The Built World
"This is a tough, beautiful, provocative, companionable book of poems."--Anselm Berrigan
"In this 'nomad music' at once oblique and demotic, worlds come into and out of being. Experimental neighborhoods, queer provinces. Formally immaculate former places: actual sites once occupied by mobile homes, yellow concrete, dust. Not absent now but full of vibrant green and rain puddles, under sky that 'gathers like cloud.' In these stellar post-punk Schuyleresque meditations, an island metamorphoses into pearl, and 'all our vocations are semi-permeable.' Everywhere these carefully built temporary worlds, this delicate slipshod multiplicity of places. George Albon is right there, he attends it--with focus, clarity, and love. Why what is shelter because what is not."--Jason Morris
"The Built World creates stately lines of texture and sound in which juxtapositions of various sorts rearrange expectations in exhilarating heady moments of simultaneity. The outside and the inside wonderfully interpenetrate. Words from different registers or wide-ranging disciplines slam together, information engages feeling, sound propels engagement; the ordinary confronts the extraordinary."--Martha Ronk
