"Audacious and dazzling, Waldner is a defiant strategist, a 'Mapper of (Possible) Fact,' a femme fatale of the spoken (as written) word. A serious, silly shilly-shallier bent on demonstrating language as the 'future's suture's revenue-the shining hour improved,' she is that rare poet in any era-the daring (darling) smarty-pants we giddily follow into the water (as well as to all other wheres). A Point Is That Which Has No Part provides a permanent pause and unrepentant delight." - Mary Jo Bang.
