Praise for this book
"Cecilia Corrigan's poems dissolve into the real the way foam laps against a giddy shore or greasepaint becomes part of the skin or the mercurial is denied entrance to the dispensary. Titanic makes whimsy infectious." --Charles Bernstein
"Grandiose, multifaceted, daring, and complex, Corrigan weaves a story in sync with its time, our time." --Chicago Book Review
