"Santos captures moments of lyric intensity and beauty that feel as fresh today as when they were written."-New Criterion
"Sherod Santos is a contemporary master of the lyric poem. In The Intricated Soul, we witness the astonishing effects of his powerful, restless poetic imagination. . . . Santos is a musician and a thinker, architect and bard, theorist and witness, and we are the lucky recipients of the singular, radiant gift of The Intricated Soul."-David Baker
