"Serge Gavronsky sets out to test Zukofsky's dictum that 'a case can be made for the poet giving some of his life to the use of the words the and a; both of which are weighted with as much epos and historical destiny as a man can perhaps resolve' - although in this case Gavronsky torques his dense, intense post-Objectivist braid around two conjunctions and the definite article. Andorthe writes poems within a poem and against and through "A" and the Cantos, the Holocaust and the Upper West Side, academese and Brooklyn schtick, post-structuralism and rides on the 1/9. Epos and historical destiny - und so weiter - indeed!" - Michael Golston

"In these delightful and energetic lyrics, Serge Gavronsky shows himself to be the master of the everyday in all its pleasures and horrors. These poems are sardonic, witty - sometimes even nasty - in their perceptions of life in the modern city. Best of all, the poet doesn't spare himself: he is clear-eyed and disillusioned - an expert at dissecting in spare verse forms both the memories of a troubled past and a "fondness for particularities.” - Marjorie Perloff
