- Bruce Beasley, author of Theophobia, All Soul Parts Returned , and other books
Dear Reader, Brack's postage-stamp pieces of prose rupture reality, separating it like fingertips carefully tearing apart an old lick-and-stick sheet of stamps along the perforation lines. In the newly opened spaces in between the tidily torn edges, one's imagination can dance and breathe a bit of fresh air. Each poem is a human heart-with a pulse, par avion-lifting off the page ever so slightly into a realm that is wonderfully impossible. We can float there for a moment, then settle back down to earth with the residual flavor of postage stamp adhesive on our tongues.
- Lea Redmond, proprietor of The World's Smallest Post Service and author of Letters to My Future Self, Knit the Sky , and other books
"How much," wonders Lori Brack's dead letter detective, "can go amiss with twenty-six letters and ten digits?" In her new book, A Case for the Dead Letter Detective , Brack's magical language weaves a world in which utterance exists at the knife-edge of loss. There the sky is the shade of a "flimsy blue aerogramme," and her detective becomes a frustrated master "of other peoples' catalogs of desire." With its kinetic, sometimes absurdist language and improbably wonderful throughline, The Case is a brilliant found letter, a tour de force.
- Susanne Paola Antonetta, author of The Terrible Unlikelihood of Our Being Here , and other books
