“XV by Zach Goldberg is a remarkable chapbook that tracks and detonates the triangulation of the body, the mind, and the world. With deft clarity of voice and vision, Goldberg guides us through the failures and frailty of the body set against the unshakable fact of the human spirit. “There’s blood in the streets tonight, and some of it’s yours”—paterfamilias, memory, illness, and the divine, are all alive and vibrating inside this small and necessary book. ”
