"Love struggles on from serenity to severity in Nerve Church, volume three of Nathaniel Mackey's Double Trio. The book's four parts -- "Rum," "Run," "Phlegm," and "Pilgrim" -- resound with the synaptic repercussions of the ongoing "Drumpf Show," promises reneged in our earthical church. What was tej bet, sweetness's wager, becomes refugee dismay, Lone Coast, hospital gowns falling from the sky, soughs seeking bodily souls, our spirit lifted by a boat of longing."--Page [4] of cover.
