Incandescently tranquil, the poems of Norman Fischer neither confront nor confirm, peferring to give company along the way.
--Charles Bernstein

Those of us who think about the reality of things do not do so because we have plenty of time. reality is not a fixed and immutable attribute of things but a process, a fast or slow unfolding. And we don't know with certainty that reality has been given limitless time. Norman Fischer's urgent sensitivity to the metamorphosis at hand makes his writing real.
