'The lyric poem works both to slow down our world, teasing out the
many disparate elements of our experience, and to reorient it, by
exposing an entire universe of instincts, paradoxes, and mysteries
beneath all that we know, or think we know. In these poems by Anna
Selby, human beings are always gravitating from earth and air
towards water. It is as if the transcendence they seek (the desire
to "leap/hot out of your own life") requires a physical departure
from the very medium they inhabit. Selby's ringing titles evoke not
just a subject but a sensibility, and her versatile forms and
deftly run-on lines very persuasively re-enact the thrill of sense
experience and the shape of thought.' Chandrahas Choudhury
