"The Ballad of Sand and Harry Soot" is a "very odd love song, constructed around the figures of Sand and Soot, [which] manages in ten inventive yet coherent pages to spin some astonishing variations on its theme. Sand and Soot are considered as elements, as temperaments, as linguistic fields, as harmonic fields, as shimmers and shades. One would think the possibilities exhaustible in a few pages, but this poet keeps deepening the premises of an inspired polarity. Everywhere the ranges of reference are generous—through binary numbers, physics, history, economics, medicine, magic, music. At times the poem seems to be made of brushstrokes, at times of whole notes—or maybe hemi-demi-semiquavers. When 'Tell's weapon' appears just two words away from the word 'inscription,' we are sufficiently wised-up not to miss the meta-poetics of this love tale." -- Heather McHugh
