El poeta le otorga estatus poético a mundos eternamente desplazados de lo poético. Una Cater-pillar, un limpiaparabrisas en una carretera del oeste y un grafiti montevideano comparten un mismo escenario. El acto de nombrar restituye identidades y otorga...

They test the line between honest humour and bitter reality in a sophisticated, incisive manner that tugs at the gut and feels true. The linguistic hopscotch of Czaga's poems about girlhood is often beautifully juxtaposed with feelings of menace or a first taste of smothering...

An anthem against apathy -Amelia Martens, author of The Spoons in the Grass Are There to Dig a Moat. Read Tracy Mishkin's poems as an antidote to the "meat wheel full of teeth" that is the contemporary news cycle. Not because this dangerously clever collection soothes, or because it provides comfort, but because these lyrics are urgent without shallow or callous bids for the reader's attention, and instead render the heartbreak of America as gorgeously...
