The Late Victorians re-sets the machinery. The voice here is way beyond chatter; these narratives arrive cock-eyed because they take place just adjacent to life’s usual misery. Vincent Colistro’s poems have things to tell us, slantwise, manic, wry, desperate, dishevelled, and stylish.” – Ken Babstock, author of On Malice

“Dashing and brilliant, Vincent Colistro’s Late Victorians is an unforgettable book of poetry about leaving youth behind to assemble a complete, fortified rhetoric full of catchy riffs and hilarious, precise revelations.” – David McGimpsey, author of Asbestos Heights
