"Praise for Signal Infinities and Melanie Siebert ""In Melanie Siebert’s Signal Infinities, bodies meeting one another in a therapist’s office are sentient bodies of water. Whether our bodies are suicidal, grieving, and dissociating, or assessing, diagnosing and making case notes, a great knowing lake of water is distributed among us and it 'intuits a blown-off-course blue.' These poems trace, in therapeutic encounters, a 'limnology of survival,' of lake reading lake, as the poet gauges another water’s struggle to return, through care and relation, to flows of deep self-recognition. I loved this book for convincing me that the water in all of us is one system, striving always for balance."" --Sonnet L'Abbé, author of Sonnet's Shakespeare"
