“It is a truism that lyric poetry captures time, but like most truisms, and as the poems in Amy Catanzano’s wondrous and wondering iEpiphany demonstrate, this formulation isn’t quite right. For one thing, poetry captures nothing; the book might easily have been titled Pleiades, after the constellation one can see only as an elusiveness and by not looking at it directly. And too, for Catanzano, the temporality of the lyric takes a turn; the poems in this book have become lyrics of temporality. The iEpiphanies that follow are nothing less than glimpses of light moving through time: light and time, intertwined.”

“iEpiphany proposes a futuristic lyric that implodes upon impact. These poems are infinitely complex and yet completely clear–and they know what they want. The will here is to bring the reader into another dimension to witness the elsewhere that is ‘part fantasy part contingency.’ The prosodic contrivances that take the reader on this delightful ride are imaginative, elegant and effective. iEpiphany is divine!”
