"The language of 'internally fissured realities' ... is dense, sound-driven, and erudite. The territory being mined is somewhere between language and geography, but there is a stubborn (and tenaciously coherent) essay on the modern here, particularly modern art. The equally tenacious reader will be rewarded by a sober sensibility."
--Andrei Codrescu, EXQUISITE CORPSE

"Armand's ideal poet controls not primarily with language's rhythmic music, but with how words collide and warp upon themselves ..."
--Ethan Paquin, THE BOSTON REVIEW
