As I was reading Instant Killer Wig, the thought occurred to me that the book might simply-'poof'-disappear in my hands, because the poems got into my head-the way they shape shift through all the angles of uncertainty while seeking stasis in a time when the world is literally melting away underneath us. Our shapes and figures will never be united, if we want to be honest about it, and thats what these poems are: honest-yet at the same time, open to the beautiful, dissembling present moment, like looking at a vase full of flowers, knowing that theyre both here and already gone. Thats what makes them so beautiful.

Dan Kaplans gustatory Instant Killer Wig gusts along. His deft touch endears. Each convivial page taps the shoulder, steers the elbow, lands-conspirator, reader-along your ear. Finely observed, Kaplan kills off the old creative writing saw. Werent you born a writer when you learned to show not tell? Yet the grandest writers possess the courage to tell us how things are. And Kaplans capgun is positively popping with wisdoms and witticisms flowers.
