"Giscombe and Margolis compose their travelogue in the present-absence of tender doubt. 'Power's always locatable on the other side of the mountain, distant, ' but Giscombe activates the line and the sequence to articulate poems that range far while simultaneously enfolding near. Margolis answers with sketches that are always more than their figures, because the seen bring their own annotations to their rendering. See that, the artist says. Hear that, the poet says. But they know the trains come and go like italics on the says."–Farid Matuk, author of The Real Horse
