Angeline Schellenberg’s Dented Tubas is gorgeous little suite of poems that works away on the reader “like wintering bees/in the hive.” There is a wonderful, layered unity to the compression of this sequence that keeps delivering, a unity built up by crisp images, deft juxtapositions and a powerful sense of the significant texture of the day-to-day.
—John Lent
