## 感想

> "A poetics of economy often results in staid lines, the severe compression wrangling emotion from the verse. Yet such compression can also produce a curious mixture of specificity and spaciousness, as in the poetry of Seth Abramson. In an eight-poem set profiled in the current issue of the Notre Dame Review, Abramson often opts for lines of medium length, and yet his decision to fragment and indent the structure implies a world beyond the lines no less important and visceral than the words presented to the reader." -- Nicholas Ripatrazone, _Luna Park_ (October 2008)
