"With its stutters, fractures, puns, sarcasms, and ironies, The Shunt
is part of a cluster of books recently written by U.S. poets attempting
to understand what it means to live in a country that is constantly
bombing other countries. But with its relentless attention to the group
psychosis that this state of siege induces in U.S. citizens, The Shunt
is also something sui generis. This is your brain on war." -- Juliana
Spahr

"In a blow-up doll of 'meaty-ations,' David Buuck's 'pre-enactments'
push us over a speed hump, a 'World Wide Wedge" whose word-wilding
labors to de-desertify globalization as it runs on 'war dash time' . .
. every page of this 'writing degree Xanax' will remind you to take
your meds from a (n undisclosed) place in the bunk bed of history." --
Judith Goldmann
