In this stunning collection, the poet explores the beautiful wreckage of our world, where the self and the soul are cog and gear in the eternal machine pushing us ever forward, wrenching us ever back... At the center of it all is a tender love for the beauty found amidst the ruins, wrought in language full of anguish, urgency, and surprise. Perpetual Motion Machines is not merely a collection that will leave you thinking and feeling in new ways, it is a collection of importance and urgency—a seed that germinates in fire.
— Marci Nelligan, author of The Ghost Manada and Infinite Variations
Perpetual Motion Machines "stitches together dislocated spaces"—hallucinations and dreams, jazz and war, order and entropy—illuminating for us the fragile and "warped stability" in which we make our human lives. Eliot White is the "Starriest of Messengers". His poems weave invisible kingdoms, spin galactic paradoxes, and elevate the prosaic elements of our lives, as they continue to move in us long after we've read them.
—Edgar Silex, author of Acts of Love and Through All the Displacements
