FORECLOSURE BY GREGORY LAWLESS



PRAISE FOR FORECLOSURE

"The poems of Gregory Lawless are austere, spare, and sharply observed, brief, skeptical, implicated, as they sort through the rubble, and lively with movement. It's a bleak and terrified country in his Foreclosure prose poems, and he meets it with the counterweight of this inventive work that is firmly in the tradition of concrete and musical language which uses all of the tools of poetry." - David Blair
"Lawless teaches that while pure fixity may be foreclosed to us, knowledge & beauty are still resident - dazzingly so - in the wrecked, the missing & the restless." - Kiki Petrosino 


"Beautifully tuned elegies..." - David Rivard
