Jarret Keene’s A Boy’s Guide to Arson is an extraordinary collection. At times elegaic, at times angry. Spiritual. Philosophical. Incantory. Experimental. Keene’s is a new, original voice in American poetry. He’s dancing on the edge here, risking it all. The haunting music of these wild poems lingers and lingers. The ambition of this epic meditation on fire is simply phenomenal.”
