If Whitman's poems "celebrate" and
Dickinson's "interrogate," the verb I associate with Tess Kincaid's
beautiful lines is "billow― the poems start small, and before you know it, they're
crackling like storms. Let lightning spit fire, let rain spray! said
Shakespeare, and that's exactly what happens here.
David Kirby
Tess Kincaid's poetry has a touch of not only
intimacy but of immediacy. Her eye, her
insight, miss little if anything. She has perfected a succinct style that
reveals an experience as it happens, as it gathers meaning. These twenty-six
poems evoke a web of discoveries, the way a life is lived, the metaphors of a
poet's many lives poured into the reader's own. Ms. Kincaid's work offers a
glimpse into the digital age, as well as into our enduring, more common
condition.

In No Third
Thing Tess Kincaid goes "to the edge,/to the door between either and
or" and her poems pull us right along with her. It's a journey worth taking. This is Kincaid's third publication and her
best one yet.
