Right away this book strikes you as peculiar because it contains large fold-out maps inside either cover. One of the U.S. and Mexico, one of Hungary. But these are more than a traveler's observation of the people and land he visits--these poems are rich with a life all their own. In terms of both substance and technique the words and phrases flow and work around one another. The boundary between inner and outer reality dissolves and we are drawn through a world of images charged with emotion. These poems are explorations of what it means to be in these places, confronted with these circumstances. e.aton has done his work well and Shattered Wig should be commended for bringing it to light.--Jake Berry
