Advance praise from Lynn Melnick,
for my next book of poetry, Horn Section All Day Every Day, forthcoming from Salmon Poetry in February/2018~
Spirited and poignant, funny and contemplative, the poems in
Horn Section All Day Every Day bring
us the world from a visitor’s point of view, sometimes literally, and all the
time reminding us that, although we are just travelling through this universe, it’s
what we do with our stay that matters most. Like the instruments of the title,
these poems don’t stop; these poems wonder how we got here and why we must
leave, they constantly assess and reassess the input the contemporary moment throws
our way. It is not often I feel tender affection for a book, but Edlow has
created a space of such hope and vitality in these poems, that, long after I
put the book down, this splendor extended past the page and softened how I felt
moving through this world we occupy together, now.— Lynn Melnick
