"...she explores the concept of truth, and how humor helps us from being swallowed by it. I'll admit, I loved this book. I read it as a lyric essay with reportage, though Svoboda calls it “documentary poetry,” which tracks. Poets know what to do with limitation, how to twist a phrase until it reveals something real and strange. A good poet can do anything, even reinvent memoir."
