| Poetry. "As if we are hearing but instead are given the sound of the unheard and unsaid: Gutteral negations. As if Baron bypasses speech and instead dishes us up an account of the breath beneath the everyday that resists musicality—and evokes in that resistance its own halting stuttering rhythm broken by rhythm in the middle of a beat. Just as out of the wind / the branches / make it / live, that which exists under the spoken and heard is made to live in the music of these compelling anti-songs: lines lit in containers."—Susan Gevirtz |

Reviews:
"TV EYE is a rich engagement
with the preconditions of words and the advances of thoughts and
bodies. Baron provides readers with insights into the ways of
transmission--how "the eye plunders," how "we indicate/
what we sound." He is a scout of the movements of meaning
and lyrical enchantments"-- Roberto Bedoya.
"Todd Baron's poetry
herein presents the consequence of an ear attuned with utmost
care, not to replicate outer worlds or broadcast interior ones:
instead to allow all the above (and the below) their presence
as translative powers. Change is, literally, in the air in the
room"--Steve Dickison.
