"It is impossible to overstate Palmer's importance." — The Boston Review
"Michael Palmer is the most influential avant-gardist working, and perhaps the greatest poet of his generation. And his books, including the essential '80s triptych of Notes for Echo Lake, First Figure, and Sun, are organized not by story but by a dreamland of calculus and sway. [Palmer's] genius is for making the world strange again." — Joshua Clover, The Village Voice
