OF (What Place Meant) is both a frenetic outpouring and a measured micro-portrait of a writer at odds and in love with writing, gratuitously denying and defying genre in bursts of commanding lyricism. García's book-length experiment with daily writing is as at home with humor as it is with mourning-the conduit of feeling always at the pulse of this ambitious collection. OF tells the story-not-story of a writer-not-writer who must go on living-not-living. Jacq Greyja author of Greater Grave
