Listen!: Early Poems Pocket Poet Series No 47

Nathaniel Mackey’s poem is a brilliant renewal of and experiment with the language of our spiritual condition and a measure of what poetry gives in trust-‘heart’s/meat’ and the rush of language to bear it. –Robin Blaser

Mackey’s raspy rebus-like cultural resurfacings are both beautiful to read and worthy of repeated efforts at comprehension. – Publishers Weekly
