"With startling frankness, Under Albany lifts each ³new sentence² of
Silliman¹s Albany to show us what's underneath. The resulting paragraphs are
glimpses not only into Silliman's history, but into that of our times. Each
is a sensitive seismograph recording shocks of social struggle."
-- Rae Armantrout

"Under Albany is the shadow movement of Ron Silliman¹s epic of everyday
life, The Alphabet. Silliman provides a set of extended, vividly etched,
mostly autobiographical, meditations on the background for each of the
original 100 sentences of his 1981 poem Albany. This constructivist memoir
provides an exquisitely rich exploration of the relation of context to
reference, subtext to meaning, back story to presented experience, and
composition to poetics. All of Silliman¹s work unravels and reforms in this
exemplary and exhilarating act of attention, recollection, and reflection."
-- Charles Bernstein

"Sondheim¹s work lives on the page, network, screen, and in live
performance. He inhabits all-too-real imaginary spaces where code and flesh
both taunt and attract each other. We are fortunate to be led, cyborg and
prosthetic, by Alan¹s unparalleled skill and sensitivity."
-- Stephanie Strickland

"Sondheim¹s diasporic spin sends language whirling in cyberspace and on the
page: his imagination puts us all in a verbal cosmos of exquisite touch and
intellect, meta-commentary (midrash) and wor(l)d-healing.  Welcome to his
world wide web mind."
