Praise for Thomas March’s Aftermath:

"[A] stimulating, if sober, tonic for our times. . . . diamond-sharp lyricism."
--Ben Rimalower, OUT Magazine



“I love the intimacy and lyric intensity of Thomas March’s poems. . . . Formal tension permits unexpected music. And moral tension, as in many of the poems' scenarios, allows readers, too, to consider the ways we collude with silence.”

—Joan Larkin
