Poetry. "THE MIDDLE is beautiful and powerful—Angela Hume's line breaks are beautiful and powerful—her pages are beautiful and powerful—and all that grace animates calm outrage, ghostlier awareness ('private like a thought / for a wrist of a thigh'), keener sounds ('try looking away try looking away try')—keener ethics, too ('first / demarcaTe // an aesthetics of / injury')—the body is ghost—polis is eyes but police is eyes too—and polis is police ('state of pacifi / cation state of // damage state / of destroy all / ex // cess body / state of little / to no // speech // ill / state // police / state')—we have to have political poetry—we can't be human otherwise—and what holds here is a new Objectivism—a clarity made actual in a construct of words ('inhabit that / incision // in such a way that can't be used')—this clarity holds against and in the violence that surrounds us (Benjamin: 'something rotten in law is revealed')—Angela Hume is a necessary poet—"—Joseph Lease, Judge of the 2012 Omnidawn Poetry Chapbook Prize
