The Origin of the World 
“The discrete (though hardly discreet) sentences in Lewis Warsh’s
new book actually merge to describe something like the origin of
the world. As he says, ‘Connect the dots to create a picture of something
unimaginable.’”
John Ashbery

“Given the complexity of this world and all the myriad people who are
in it, these poems are poignantly articulate experiments, which reach
out endlessly, day or night, so as to feel another is still there too.
If one could ever doubt, Lewis Warsh proves again that the world
exists, even after all is said and done.”
Robert Creeley

“It’s incumbent on us to watch closely and observe well--to do
otherwise is to miss what’s happening. In this wonderful new book,
Lewis Warsh sets out through a landscape swept with occurrence.
As he looks about, somber image and glimpsed exegesis play off each
other and the works unfold. Their lines flicker and figure; they resemble
the light-images of which movies are made. They leap, fade,
reappear--figuring out the world. As Lewis Warsh brilliantly reveals,
this is the origin, always ongoing, of the world.”
