Praise for this book
"Angle of Yaw is a stunner.... I have spent a good week, a very good week, re-reading and mining this remarkable volume, but I...don't expect to exhaust its riches."--Beloit Poetry Journal "This collection places Lerner among the most promising young poets now writing."--Publishers Weekly "The languages of critical theory and television collide, often with titillating and telling results.... Lerner spring-loads one [poem] after another in order to deliver his splendidly calibrated punch.... sharp, ambitious and impressive."--Boston Review
