Canada's current Parliament-appointed Poet Laureate Fred Wah says in advance praise, “The poetry in Placeholder is intriguing in the materiality and intensity of its language. But one wants a slow read to relish the lush assemblage and careful juxtapositions ... These poems/placeholders invite us to dawdle the ‘whole while’ and ponder the ordered melange of this poetic curiosity shop.”
