<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Objects don't have color (they give off light) and words don't have meaning (they give off vibration). Color and meaning are ours to determine and agree upon, but what if, first, we sift through our colloquial phrases, our idiomatic expressions, our perceptual experiences, until we enter a world of mutuality rather than human centrality? A poet of both Exteroception and Interoception at once, Kyle Schlesinger asks his reader to "Think with / Your Eyes," "Eyes like Buber." At turns both funny and heartbreaking, Color & Light reminds us that meaning is not intrinsic; it is relational-"I'll say differently / I won't say literally." -Sasha Steensen </p><p><br></p><p>A smart collection of poems representing the panoramic range of Kyle Schlesinger's talents. 'Far & Away, ' a brilliant rigorous formal experiment in language, is the culminating work among more casual and sometimes cinematic poems. A real page-turner with unpredictable joys along the way. -Annabel Lee </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Stealthy, low-key hilarious & perfectly observed observations of lived American life containing the strewn remnants of several decades of personal & cultural detritus. Slow-rolled perambulations that gather some strange sort of wise anti-wisdom, & constantly perched at the intersection where one genre of song morphs into another. In this particular instance let's say.... Honky Tonk to Cosmic American Country. -Michael Klausman</p><br>
