A resonant new collection from the "Secrecy Officer of American Poetry" (J.H. Prynne)

"With its uncanny ability to switch between the ecstatic and the vaguely administrative, Signal Flow is a clear statement of what's possible in the twenty-first century--non-totalizing, democratic in its equivalence of anticipation, expectation and unpredictability, and optimistic in its assessment of the power for renewal. There is constant invention, given understandings uprooted from syntactical soil and replaced with a range of textual strategies. With no homogeneous surface, a vast reading space rises as from an undecidable pool or in the window of a Magic 8 Ball, a frequently intoxicating vortex of misdirection, one alembic catching the distillate from another. And the wonderful use Fuller makes of 'natural' subjects (insects, birds, bushes, recesses, clouds, trees), yoking them to the politics of co-existence, is itself direct democracy, an anarchy full of the verve and vivacity of one (M. Fuller) who knows how to do things. A politics of which being a part is not only livable but endlessly rewarding."--Larry Price
