"Forget New York poetry. Forget Language poetry. Forget desires for a totalizing poetics. Fuhrman is a leader in the particular, in 'infra-surrealism.' She taboos nothing; no form impedes her complete wit. This full poetry is not only 'feminine, marvelous, and tough,' but subtle, searching, and woundedsexual, social, and smart. Fuhrman celebrates new truth-telling, an art of the spectacular pageant."David Shapiro
"...some real poetic gems...we have the real poet."Stride Magazine
Joanna Fuhrman is a witty visionary for our virtual age. Her poems invite you not just to read but to become immersed in their delightfully protean postmodern landscapes. The work is both exotic and mundane, retro and futuristic at the same time. Pulsating with surround-sound and a panoply of neon fluid’ special effects, this book startles as it entertains.”Elaine Equi
Joanna Fuhrman is the author of three previous poetry collections.
