BOTH WAYS

OK, so what’s the word for ambidextrous, but in the legs too; in the toes? And with perhaps a prehensile tail? And singing all along? “So So Absence” jitters and juggles through the zoos of youth, the “word/mouth trap,” and the crashing waves / economies of the Left Coast with such athletic improvisation that it becomes a kind of testament to velocity itself. It moves and moving it will move you. It uses the entire brain. You should too. --Ben Doller
