Reading Shannon Gramse's Lost Last Poems, I found myself engaged, amused, unsettled, and haunted, pulled ever deeper into a familiar world oddly displaced from the familiar, with the offset of that strange distance changing the light so that things I already knew felt startlingly original. This is a complete and cohesive single work, not just a collection. It doesn't let go — not even long after you put it down.

—Charles Wohlforth, author of The Fate of Nature
