Praise for Splice
​“Splice revs and idles at the intersection of film, popular culture, and autobiographical narrative.”
Marcus Wicker, author of Silencer
“Nothing is mundane in a Borruso poem because of the levels of rhetoric he deploys, the concatenation of devices from cinéma verité reportage to the charming cascade of images that so often wraps things up.”
David Kirby, author of Winter Dance Party
“Splice’s speaker—musical, intellectual, an aesthete and a patient—is a ‘me in morphological crisis,’ a cultural consumer being consumed by the art that they graft on, in.”
Katie Berta, author of Retribution Forthcoming
“I admire the witty juxtapositions of philosophical artistic conversations, allusions to cinema and cinematic moments, the absurdity of celebrity culture, and ultimately the inescapability of our mortality.”
Oliver de la Paz, author of The Diaspora Sonnets
“This thrilling collection exhibits the vitality of a mind focused by the proximity of death and impelled forward by curiosity and appreciation.”
Christopher Breane Murray, author of Black Observatory
