Praise for the eclipse
Smith shows us, with absolute clarity, how poetry, maybe only poetry, can express
the baffling array of overlapping contradictions running through life in late capitalism.
Lori Emerson, historian of obsolete technology
To find oneself once more immersed in Antonioni’s world of images and signs is a novel, surprising, revitalizing experience.
Laura Rascaroli, professor at University College Cork and editor of Antonioni: Centenary Essays
the eclipse slows down the reel of film to its component frames and out of them arranges
a collage of intensified images of modern urban life: concrete, steel, exhaust, the
structures and machinations of gender.
Jason Purcell, author of Swollening
