"Her poems invite the more intellectual emotions: bemusement, the breathlessness of newborn understanding."--The Village Voice"A most inquisitive poet who relishes living inside her expansive vocabulary."--C.D. Wright A web of wholly original madhattery, Flemish showcases serious language play and the skill of a master craftsperson. Caroline Knox is writing at the top of her game, and reading her is a pleasure not to be missed. Our font is full of construction- paper fish, made by the church school for us to each take home one of, a reverse tithe. Caroline Knox is the recipient of numerous awards and has been a visiting fellow at Harvard University.
By turns funny, esoteric, and absurdist, Flemish is also positively enthralling, an energetic paean to language, the object, and the history of language and of objects. —Seth Abramson, Huffington Post Knox dresses her speakers and her cacophony of subjects (sister, otters, Dickinson, Mary Wesley) in whatever clothes history hands them (or she conjures up), letting them act out their roles on a spindle of wordplay and pathos. —Publishers Weekly
