ADVANCE WORDS:
Mark Young rakes the zeitgeist, separating memes from disparate media.  Everything looks like something else.  Nothing is the same.  some more strange meteorites is the work of a master poet at the top of his game.
--Tom Beckett

Chance figures brightly in some more strange meteorites. The poet as appreciator-in-chief discovers or invents a voice to house and sing each philosophically vivid poem. He locates kindred mouths and brains that carry rich history and disconnection, matching each to each. A masterful spirit of inclusiveness pervades this extremely satisfying book, linking unlikely figures, finding the future in the past, and inviting the reader to follow the writer’s brilliant lead.
—Sheila E. Murphy
