It’s Ross Gay for the final Blurb Wednesday! We’ve had the awesome Diane Seuss, the awesome Lee Upton, and the awesome Dean Young, today it’s the awesome Ross Gay! Yes! Words cannot express how grateful I am that these wonderful poets took time out to read my new poetry book and say such generous things about it. Here’s what Ross Gay wrote:

<< Reading Christopher Citro’s If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun is like taking a meandering stroll with your weird, brilliant, soulful friend who points out a zillion things you never noticed even though you’ve been down this back alley a thousand times. The utterly familiar, quotidian landscapes of Citro’s poems–in the garden, in the kitchen or living room, at work–are revealed to be not only quirky or funny or bizarre (though often those things too), but truly mysterious. Quiet repositories of all the questions. How lucky we are for such loving, rigorous, and luminous vision. How lucky we are, I mean, for Christopher Citro’s beautiful work.>>
