REVIEWS
“What a gorgeous and ambitious poem this is—an elegy, a calendar, an enactment of beauty, a tribute to singers and musicians and those who love them, a musical compilation, a meditation on friendship and art, an evocation of hopefulness and the possibility of enhanced life, a summoning . . .” —Lee Upton
“Playlist is entirely wonderful. I'd meant just to take a quick glance and then to read it through with my afternoon tea. But once I began, I could not put it down . . . that hasn't happened to me since the passing of Schuyler. Really, it's splendid.” —Donald Revell
“. . . As full of light as of music. A prodigious display of musical erudition, offered to the reader with playfulness rather than pretension.” —Terence Winch
