About Special Delivery:
"Marvelously inventive, these wise poems combine a researcher's discipline with an action painter's freedom. Sajé addresses aspects of contemporary culture ('Dear Roe v. Wade,' 'Dear Spiral Jetty') with dynamism and wit. Here, the personal and political ignite, fissuring received ideas to investigate how we live in the present and how we imagine the future. I admire the deft and fearless intimacy that powers this chapbook."
