Of his work the Canadian poet rob mclennan writes, “The poems sit as minor miracles, offering an enormous amount in small spaces, from sharp lines to sharp observations, all of which are offered in deceptively-plain but clearly a highly-crafted language.” He is also art critic for The Nation and an editor at Artforum, and is the author of The Perpetual Guest: Art in the Unfinished Present (Verso, 2016) and Words for Art: Criticism, History, Theory, Practice (Sternberg Press, 2013) as well as contributions to many books and catalogues on contemporary and modern art.
