"In "Disturb the Universe: The Collected Essays of Adam Fieled", we see a young poet wrestling with old problems: how to move forward and conserve simultaneously, how to form coherent judgments regarding what will endure and what will not, how to, as Eliot wrote in Four Quartets, purify the dialect of the tribe. These essays are bold stabs in search of new directions, which push the envelope past what post-modernism in poetry has heretofore allowed. They may prove to be enduring benchmarks of a period of transition and turmoil." (from The Argotist Online site)
