“This is a book for impossible space. Beloveds who love each other like this, for whom both language and distance are erotic, will be met by these luminous poems at all points. It’s a delicious subject–how to speak in the first place, and how to ask for something in a way that’s neither negotiation nor seduction. Something else. Intense expression. I am trying to describe the incredible relationship the writer herself has to words–phrasing, phonemes, possible verbs. Michelle Naka Pierce writes to us here, from a dark and intimate architecture lined with peeling gold parchment: the letters, illuminated, partially torn and always, always broken off.”

“This marvelous book, so light on all its hands and feet, so assured in the delicacy of its unwavering precision…BELOVED INTEGER presents its visitors/voyagers with a complex adaptive system of memory and desire, a kind of visible city rich in ‘variably negotiated moments of production,’ in ‘oceanic felling,’ in ‘dialogues in solitude,’ in easy energy and hard-earned matter, fearlessly held up to the light, which adumbrates the deepest territories of the heart”
