"In this incisive, deliciously specific collection, Jeffery Berg inspirits the relics and ghosts of an American childhood and youth that is at once arrestingly familiar, fantastical, and fraught. Whether he’s evoking Jason from Friday the 13th or invoking the lyrics of “We Are the World,” he traces the masks and acts that disguise and reveal, while unraveling and reweaving the veils of identity, gender, and place. “I rewrite, I myth-make / the discos, cracked records, / Astaire, and bodies that didn’t make it / this long,” Berg writes. “I rework them into air, / into glass, shimmering, pricked / into a slivery frock / above pits of this earth.” Re-Animator takes us back and leads us forward, as we revisit our past and so reclaim our present, with generosity and wisdom."

—David Groff
