“Guest takes the reader on a path like few contemporary poets offer.” (Chicago Sun-Times)

“A beautiful, breathless torrent of language that is dark or insightful or funny or any combination thereof, but always on the mark, always riveting. . . . My Index of Slightly Horrifying Knowledge is a terrific book. ” (Mark Strand)

“Astonishing.” (Jorie Graham)
