“From the cellular to the galactic, Noah Stetzer’s Because I Can See Needing a Knife is a collection of journeys and relations… A contemplation of letting go and being afraid to. From the spacecraft Voyager sending back signals from deep space to the blips and transmissions of machines transferring vital signs to the nurses’ station of an ICU we see the mysterious, the infinite and the deeply human.”
These stunningly crafted poems illuminate the murmured dreams and gut-wrenching fear of living with AIDS. —Joy Gaines-Friedler, A&U Magazine
It takes self-control, a delicate hand, and unflinching bravery to write your way through trauma and to make that writing art. Noah Stetzer has more than managed it. —Bethany W. Pope, Sabotage Reviews
