If dominant sound too is a kind of tunnel, a worm, then there’s room to make it wormed through, or it gets sucked into a freakophonic tunnel" -Olivia Cronk & Philip Sorenson

Emily Carr’s “name your bird without a gun” reviewed by M. Forajter
"This doubling imbues a deeper mysticism in the poems themselves, each one lending themselves as a new portrait of the tarot. You could create a new deck from Carr’s words." - M. Forajter
