description: Poetry. "Racy, playful, and ultimately rather ominous, these intricate poems gather up centuries in a single sweep and make it all shockingly pop. There is a brooding intelligence here, radiant with fireworks and emergency flares. A brilliant read"--Cole Swensen. "'Supposing a doll of mysterious origin, a mechanical marvel, falls into your hands.' So begins Daniel Tiffany's daring and brilliant PUPPET WARDROBE. Each poem an echo chamber of song, cant, discourse letting loose an entire trove of voices, sayings, bending rhymes and jargonelle. What an ear lives here. Not since Eliot have we heard such a throwing of tavern talk"--Gillian Conoley.
