“An artist deeply involved in the images and scenarios she creates… She works with multiple perspectives, complex compositions and layers…The poems can be difficult, if one is looking for a pillow, but are gratifying if looking for a puzzle. Silv wants you to think about what you think you know.”

“Randee Silv’s farnessity is a book that starts at the stop, it is a book of memories never known, though they have always been there and in which we become aware and are always intrigued.”

“Much of what’s happening in a wordslab goes on between and around the words as well as among the words themselves.  It’s as if she’s indeed applying language like a physical material the way one would paint.  And, language’s materiality necessarily includes its sound. Wordslabs are powerfully aural constructions that should also be read aloud.  These should be heard.”

“A reader might find itself, of a sudden, at book, with little or nothing between the reader and the read. Next to, skin against page, barely a breath to pass between them. Lines like these are fed as in osmosis from the page through the skin into the bloodstream in the body.”

your voice is a jacket / the kind that knows it can withstand the wind /
cool, but not distant / zipping and unzipping into beats
