Review
Praise for "The Strange Hours Travelers Keep: "A wonder wall of impossibly strange headlines, found poetry . . . A menacing, nasty iambic fest which must be heard a viva voce, in the poet's broad New Jersey vowels and clipped diction . . . Thank the muses [for] August Kleinzahler." --Peter Spagnuolo, "The Brooklyn Rail
