A really wonderful Book of Ocean Review
From Mark Wallace
I'm really pleased about his attention to the coherence edge. One of my major concerns is how far can you push words, a line, or an idea and have both cohere and teeter into incoherence.

- "Salerno’s tightly wrought poems probe the interstices between seeming and being, between Hollywood and the stars, between 'desire and attendant clamor.' If Ingres had placed his Odalisque on the Sunset Strip, she might be looking at us through these poems. This is a completely original work by a serious, important poet."

Annandale Dream Gazette
What if the dream is something else as well? Not individual, not a message from God or from the archetypes or from the soul. We hear Freudians speak of the language of dream, but what if dream is language, is language the way language is language: systematic, intentional, focused on saying something. What if dream is above all, exactly as language is, social. This is the aspect of the dream that is seldom considered, dream as arising from the speaking back into a community, a community of native dreamers (so to say).--ROBERT KELLY
