In her introductory poem, Susan Howe invites readers to join in the “pleasure and play” of Infinite Disguises. Meet a meth child, Sulis Minerva, Della Street, and buckle up while Jesus drives a convertible. Her imagination runs wild, roller-coasting with witty, contemporary language through diverse and timely topics. She weaves this wonderful collection with inspiration from Emily Dickinson. Howe raises an eyebrow to America’s gods of money and self.
Yet, Infinite Disguises holds at its earth-loving heart, “the worm’s quiet praise.”
—Marilyn Bushman-Carlton
