Leah Umansky reviewed in the Brooklyn rail and a reading tour schedule

From Jeffrey Cypers Wright on the Brooklyn Rails' Rapid Transit:

RAPID TRANSIT

by Jeffrey Cyphers Wright

Leah Umansky
Domestic Uncertainties
(BlazeVOX, 2013)

Leah Umansky admits impediments. In fact, her topos of a marriage-gone-bad is previewed on the cover (she did the collage). A wedding cake couple floats above rocks under a stormy sky framed by flaming red curtains. The poetry is much more subtle but no less vivid.
