About Your Father on the Train of Ghost :

"Your Father on the Train of Ghosts may be the first email renga, but it probably won't be the last. The co-authors inhabit 'a growing region, but there are others too, regions / and examples of regions,' together with `rhubarb futures' and `this child's chalk drawing on the sidewalk / of a sea monster on a Tilt-a-Whirl.' `We are free / for a limited time,' one of them writes (we don't know who wrote what), and that augurs a peculiarly American kind of happiness."
—John Ashbery

"This book is a sharing of the energy of speech made visible, which makes every line a prodigious and vibrant accomplishment. The book is somehow always about sharing, always about the intensity of human cooperation, of a world where `the bombs stop falling, & then / all the people come out walking."
—Bin Ramke
