"In the religious light of these poems the everyday gets revealed as a miracle again and again. Two boys having sex ("your mother in the other room") are without contradiction entirely hot and holy. Emanuel Xavier is a poet who takes wild comfort in the world and knows god is watching too."
—Eileen Myles
