Order So You Know It’s Me
Blurbs:
“In So You Know It’s Me, Brian Oliu posits an ideal reader/missed connection/desired presence, all the while negotiating with the ever-eroding nature of time. Major ambitions for such a small book! Each brief meditation explores the daunting, existential task of searching (for you, whoever you are), and yet, with tender and earnest energy, retains a lover’s belief in the act of seeking. This playfully looping & arcing essay-sequence (intelligent rather than clever! graceful rather than trendily chaotic and jittery!) made this reader feel the acute pleasures of being both sought and found.”
—Lia Purpura, author of On Looking, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award
“Saw you on the morning bus reading a book, but it wasn’t Brian Oliu’s So You Know It’s Me. Too bad, really. Oliu’s book is playful, beautifully structured, filled with surprise and pleasure. Also: odd and wonderful. We might have had that relationship, you and I, had you read the book. Oliu’s book. Read it now, or you will miss out again.”
—Dinty W. Moore, author of Between Panic & Desire
