Here are some comments on the book ...

"TRANCELUMINATION is unlike any other book I've encountered in
American poetry.  What a wild and crazy book.  What a wonderful book!
Trapped somewhere between poetry and the wisdom found in Chinese
fortune cookies is the territory of the aphorism and John Bradley
finds his way there again and again in these brilliant shards that
shine like mica in a sidewalk.  These are truly a delight to read, to
savor, to return to.  'Ok, it's been fun, but now back to
wordlessness,' John Bradley writes.  But, please let's not rush back
to wordlessness too soon!"

--- Jim Moore, author of INVISIBLE STRINGS

"Drop a penny into TRANCELUMINATION and receive a fortune scrawled by
a teller whose clairvoyance is as clouded as it is terrifying and
beautiful.  Often drunk on language, these fortunes arrive in the form
of aphorism, joke, horror, hallucination, and lie.  The reader is
warned: 'don't wear socks spun from human flesh' because in this world
what feels impossible to bear is a heart-wrenching possibility.  It is
John Bradley's gigantic imagination that saves and destroys this world
(and its fortunes) over and over again."

--- Sabrina Orah Mark, author of TSIM TSUM

"John Bradley's aphorisms are mundanely magnificent and nonchalantly
sublime, like cracking open a fortune cookie to find not a saying but
a symphony orchestra."

--- James Geary, author of
GEARY'S GUIDE TO THE WORLD'S GREAT APHORISTS
