"Something quite literally ultimate transpires in these Variations
on Dawn and Dusk, as Beachy-Quick has found a way to map the
interstices--between quanta of light; between syllables; between
the nearly inaudible sounds of colors upon surface. To my certain
knowledge, no one has accomplished this since Dame Julian of
Norwich. These quiet poems are a torrent of angels, and I cannot
look away." --Donald Revell, author of The English Boat
"A work of ekphrasis based on Robert Irwin's Untitled (Dawn to
Dusk) set in the desert of Marfa, Tex., draws inspiration from the
sun as it warms, cools, colors, and shifts, resulting in a series
of poems whose patterns are informed by their subject: light."--
