About No Girls No Telephones:

"The poems in this chapbook stay with me, ringing in my ears, burrowing into my head. The language is extremely physical, sharp — often painfully so. The voices grapple with basic human emotions, rooting in images that sear, unafraid to spread rhetorical wings ('O enemies') or make jaw-dropping assertions ('Everyone is an informer'). The poems move from innocence to experience, then back to innocence again, risking absurdity ('This fox was the real deal, like a white swan'), drawing wild, fresh conclusions ('You have the answer, sir'), always jerking the reader to attention, entertaining, informing. This collection of poems is obviously the work of gifted young poets with a kind of wit and wisdom that gives, that will keep on giving."
—Jay Parini

"'I am licked bright' by the poems in No Girls No Telephones, a complex and innovative undertaking of the childhood game 'telephone,' in which Berryman's poems are channeled through one poet before being filtered again through one more ear, so that the poems while echoing the previous text, undergo radical transformation. In this exquisite pas de deux with Berryman as choreographer and Hazelton and Cavallaro as the skillful dancers, each poem unfurls into something new, something wondrous. Though the poems arise out of the poetic ancestry of Berryman, they spotlight 'the certainty of the Now and the New.' This strange and dazzling duet splits you open and allows a new horizon to sink in. Revel in its incandescence."
