"Michael Lambert's brilliant first chapbook transforms the sad, vast depths of our North American continent into a fraught diary or prayer book. Singing from barrooms and secondhand cars, Circumnavigation inhabits a postmodern mind with a romantic sensibility. Irreverently and with relentless humor, Lambert paints a world of tilted transformations where, ’We must forget the sound/of our own names."
