What is Holler about?

In her follow-up to 2008s Flutter, former big-city-dweller Alice Burdick explores nature and the small town, taking a cue from children learning their voices: All I see are trucks, / trucks and ducks. With a blend of playful narrative and an Ashberyesque collage approach, Burdick paints a portrait of our world as one of continuous wonder, and full of relationshipsbetween people, and between people and thingsthat never die but continually transform, even in death. On Alice Burdicks Previous Books Her lines are deceptively elementary, but its not simplicity they produce, but complex comprehension. George Elliott Clarke, The Chronicle Herald Burdick [focuses] closely on the sound and spark of her language, often making startling leaps in logic, tone, and theme from one stanza to the next. This imbues the work with a pleasing surrealistic energy. David Barrick, Matrix An odd oracular voice of someone standing apart and commenting on what she observes floods these utterances. Burdicks observations merit our attention. Lily Iona MacKenzie, Prairie Fire An intelligent bold voice without pomp and ceremony. One gets the impression Burdick could be hiding behind us watching our every misstep
