About Vertigo:

"Hilarity transfiguring all that dread, manic overflow of powerful feeling, zero at the bone—Vertigo renders its desolation with singular invention and focus and figuration: the making of these poems makes them exhilarating."
—James Laughlin Award citation

"Reading Michael [Dickman] is like stepping out of an overheated apartment building to be met, unexpectedly, by an exhilaratingly chill gust of wind."
—The New Yorker

"These are lithe, seemingly effortless poems, poems whose strange affective power remains even after several readings."
—The Believer
