***

End of Earth, a Collaboration of Poetry and Painting, by Nolcha Fox and Mike Armstrong is ekphrastic art at its finest, a seamless coming together of vibrant brushstrokes and memorable lines in poem after poem. From "They circle" we have "Ah, they are money vampires. / They tell me they can hook me up, / no, cook me up in style." The wit, music, and metaphors that comprise Nolcha Fox's style are alive and well in End of Earth; it contains some of her best recent work. She is our contemporary Emily Dickinson, but also an original, fulfilling the potential of her poetic self in this new book.

Without a doubt, Nolcha Fox is the most interesting, inventive writer of poetry on the scene today.
