review of Rarer and More Wonderful now up at Cutbank…

“Sometimes the lines drop quickly in columns shaped like a syringe or sometimes they break like the brim of a good tumbler. One cannot simply read this book once, drawn back to it by the allure one might associate with an absinthe cocktail. In fact, a kind of esoteric romance haunts these poems—edgy, dangerous, complex. Being that this is Calvert’s first published full-length collection, and the first book by California’s Scrambler Books, readers have much to look forward to from the future of both.

Read that and much more from a new review by Michael Roberson of Trevor Calvert’s Rarer and More Wonderful at Cutbank.
