. . "X is a simple gesture and a multiplicty. It is both letter and number, and represents the mathematical unknown as well as the signature by which one is known. It is a palindrome, a location, a cancellation. X is the kiss, the embrace, and the betrayal. In James Galvin's sixth book of poems, X is also the map by which the poet marks new terrain. From the vertigo of solitude Galvin evokes a deep philosophical engagement with interior and exterior landscapes, asking simply, What did I love that made me believe it would last? --Copper Canyon Press."@en . .
