Fire & Flower

"Kasischke's world. . .is a world in which grace and horror, beauty and carnage, tragedy and hilarity commingle."

-Harvard Review

"Kasischke peels back the blander surfaces of the quotidian as if to find the unconscious realm just beneath the Formica."

-The Antioch Review

"Kasischke's breathless and disjunctive rhetoric becomes the stuff of a frightened and exuberant intelligence, sometimes rapturous, sometimes crazed, but more often than not deceptively canny in its ostensible abandon, its sentence fractures and strange pairings ... The result is a book both personal and ambitious in scope, full of the startling sympathies, little horrors, and always the irrepressible compulsion toward beauty."

-Bruce Bond
