From Library Journal:

MacDonald's fourth full-length collection showcases once again her fascination with unconventional diction, the ironicoften surprisingrelationships between words themselves, and the networks of imagery that develop from those relationships. Crammed with headnotes, puns, and not-so-free associations, MacDonald's surreal, often cartoon-like narratives seem less concerned with causal events than in the ripple effects of the language used to relate them, their verbal/imagistic links sometimes sloshing over into the next poem. In the words of the title piecea 17-part kaleidoscope of hats, butterflies, angels, and metaphysicsthis book is ``a commotion, synchronized as/ The word tells us, amazing in such a small place . . . .''
