“From wry witticisms to brief morality tales to poignant anecdotes and more, the works collected in David Colin’s A Heretic’s Claim are by turns humorous and somber, entertaining and illuminating, and they all prompt serious thought on the nature of being, seeing, and feeling. Through an eclectic application of form, function, and meter, the poems muse on the substance of reality and the myriad ways the outer world intrudes upon inner life, all the while provoking consideration of the potentially disorientating interplay between space and time. For those seeking an in-depth and thought-provoking exploration of the poet’s truth, A Heretic’s Claim is a mind- and eye-opening collection.”—Erin Britton, Seattle Book Review
