We Can't Delay Our Joy: An Interview with Roger Reeves About His New
Reeves has a shelf full of honors, but his new book, "Dark Days," is not poetry, but essays. In rich and heady prose, Reeves mixes memoir, theory and literary criticism.

For Reeves, "feeling for the future is a matter of art.". With this text, he inclines toward his ideal of the ecstatic, defiantly daring to build the sort of life—intellectual and free ...

The most subversive material in Dark Days involves intimacy, which has long been what oppressors fear the most.

Book Marks reviews of Dark Days: Fugitive Essays by Roger Reeves
His gleefully erudite rhetoric operates with the imprecision of simile, downplaying difference in favor of a solidarity that one senses Reeves wants very badly to exist in this world ... Dark Days stumbles on that undertone of coercion, as Reeves repeatedly tries to map art and politics into a much-too-easy relation.

The Yale Review
The live and dead nettle. This is the use of memory: For liberation—not less of love but expanding. Of love beyond desire, and so liberation. From the future as well as the past.
