About Parallel Resting Places:

"There is a constant textual drama in the address and voice of Laura Wetherington's heady poems; a mirror staged. With monologues, letters, lyrics, and prose she performs a writing through to a new ground of sensation and thinking. Call it the present. The music is gorgeous and the sound is captivating. Parallel Resting Places is a wonderful book and a welcome addition to a tradition that troubles tradition"
—Peter Gizzi
