RaveTerrain...a glory of images, layerings, and repetitions. Sight Lines thrives on repetitions of various natures, though not by way of the familiar anaphora or epistrophe. Sze isn’t interested in chant or building to crescendo, but in something more aligned with, say, the cosmic microwave background in an expanding universe ... The effect is a feeling of randomness slowly revealing intention, as when, in life, we notice synchronicities and begin to ask ourselves if our minds are creating or are they recognizing existing connectivities. ... A formal intimacy between words, among images, is created by repetitions and auditory relations ... All of this reverb is riveting, thrilling actually ... Sze’s question is, \'What line of sight leads to revelation?\' His answer is in the multiplicities of view these poems depict and in the risk of change and chance they enact.
