Mike Sikkema teaches us that

“your ‘rain leaves mirrors

in the earth' is made of time

like likeness

arrayed too fast for interruption

jealous of radio and mind-reading”

There is no one else writing like this.  Sikkema's attention is magic: consciousness changes and becomes itself, fully thought through, fully felt through.  We should all (we will all) learn from this gorgeous book.  Michael Sikkema is one of the best poets of his generation.

—Joseph Lease

 

I found myself reading these poems out loud (the better to hear you with, my dear)… to make it all last longer---like a wildflavor madly melting ice cream cone. More: joyously baffled kaleidoscopic eye or mouth, flustered wits and gut satisfying.
