Wavetable
Poetry. Michael Ives’ witty, powerful and challenging poems have been anthologized in numerous American journals and magazines. His work has the unmistakable quality of a true poet at work; Wavetable is his finest collection so far.
Every sentence leaves us with something we’ve never known before, some new giving from the mind embodied in words. His syntax is a house on fire, and like flames his words are hungry and quick, and leave nothing the same after they pass
