“An homage to a 1980s adolescence, …one of the more necessary poetry collections for 2018: Fischer lends us nuanced ways of thinking about faith and fakes, secular shamans and sexual misconduct, deceit and devotion.”
HEATHER TRESELER, LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS
“Swapping the crucifixion for a ghastly car crash, Fischer produces a work as smart, satisfying, and nuanced in its climax as it is as a whole.”
“Emmanuel Levinas, the gnostic gospels, as well as Depeche Mode, REM, Prince, Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, The Bangles, Sonic Youth, Alphaville, and an awful lot of Joy Division.”

“We are complicit in the willful invention of our memories even as we succumb to them…. Radioapocrypha was written with the radio on—the radio of memory, especially.”
