In Everlasting Quail, Sam Witt combines diverse conventions such as the confession and the sexual love poem, with structures and language to invent a psycho-political landscape in which the physical world is transformed and the energy of human relationships celebrated. What holds these poems together is not the act of confession, description, or memory. Rather, they draw their vocabulary from a perpetually transformational relationship with the physical world, and with human beings, which, when merged, approaches transfiguration.
