"Every leaf, flower, snowflake, butterfly in Magnified is
impeccably coated and coded with existential time, anti-capitalist
time. Magnified is a profoundly intimate record of personal sorrow
as well as 'poetry to action'--in its resistance against empire's
economic and military destruction."--Don Mee Choi, author of DMZ
Colony
"The poems in Magnified model a fearless relation with lost
beloveds that is gorgeous, queer and fiercely alive. Minnie Bruce
Pratt, who always writes verse with palpating radical breath, here
ignites it with a vision for revolutionary afterlife."--Rachel
Levitsky, author of The Story of My Accident Is Ours
"'Revolution is bigger than both of us, revolution is a science
that infers the future presence of us, ' writes Pratt. Magnified is
a history of the beloved's last days, and in crafting that history
Pratt has crafted posterity, sending revolutionary love into the
future that we may learn from it."--Kerri Webster, Visiting
Assistant Professor, Boise State University
"In this elegiac and essential book, Minnie Bruce Pratt focuses a
Dickinsonian extreme attention on the natural world, its changes
magnified by an approaching death, with the human exchanges
essential to her activism as much in focus as a walnut shell, a
poplar leaf, the breath of the beloved."--Marilyn Hacker, author of
Blazons
