Like her subject and muse, Laura Ann Reed's Homage to Kafka contains anxieties, prophecies, and ""contagious organisms."" The poems understand the contradictions inside Kafka as a writer and person that made it possible for him to locate the contradictions of the world around him. Reed's poems offer an unsettling insistence that readers face reality without blinking and without judgment. The poems get into Kafka's atmosphere as well as the floors of his interior with fresh language and surprising insights. -Sean Singer, author of Today in the Taxi In Homage to Kafka, Laura Ann Reed uses the alchemy of lyric poetry to evoke the strangeness of Kafka's world. In twelve masterful poems, Reed echoes Kafka's own linguistic powers. The reader is alternately bewildered and illuminated by the cadence, diction, and musicality of her writing. An intangible quality that one finds in Kafka too, in which every word has its precise place even as that same word threatens to open into an abyss of contradictions is to be found in this profound and beautiful collection. -James R. Martel, professor of political science/Kafka studies, University of San Francisco
