Again and again, Paige Taggart's Or Replica delivers a peculiar shock of acuity. A window onto the evolution of a singular voice as it seeks to redefine itself in a shifting landscape, these poems stumble, they grope, they test their boundaries and move on. Arriving with great heart, honesty, inventiveness, hilarity, and music, Taggart's poetry reminds us that the small moments we invest in are important, but that we are a part of larger, changing awareness, that even "the things we leave alone/ will grow full of purpose."
