Myths of Electricity Reviews

Kevin Meaux's poetry is a delight. He gives that wonderful, odd sensation of brilliant poems: even though you read them silently, his words seem literally tactile in your mouth. Myths of Electricity is an exciting debut volume. - Robert Olen Butler Kevin Meaux's Myths of Electricity is an electrifying book. His subjects range from snake handling to Mikola Tesla, discoverer of the rotating magnetic field; from walking ghosts to bad angels; from Halley's Comet to the prophecies of nature; from his grandfather's farm to his parents' magical early marriage. Whatever the subject, Meaux writes with deep sympathy and tact in exciting language. He can even make poetry of imperfect bodies in a locker room! It has been some time since I've so greatly admired a chapbook. - Robert Phillips, Series Judge
