Hoa Nguyen on Steven Alvarez: "In Un/documented, Kentucky, A Poem in Ten Parts Steven Alvarez sets language into motion. Here we find acts of documentation in curious plays and double plays: sense-units unspool, question, and arrive at strangeness as the lines ravel. With playful and serious instances of thought, the lines and phrases compound—at turns colloquial and personal, at times in the utterance of institution or political gambit."
