“Suspended like a Calder mobile between poetry and nonfiction, between art theory and spiritual autobiography, this highly original book makes room for new ways of seeing and of feeling.”
--Richie Hofmann
"These poems move and change with light."
--Victoria Chang
"With Atria it is clear that we are in the presence of a formidable and beautiful imagination."
