Brentwood is stark and vivid. The poems resonate as each poem opens new doors into the past. ‘I just want someone to look at me’, and we do look, hard and long. Brilliant and stunning, short and provocative — a collection to read and ingest multiple times, eating different layers each time, uncovering more truths.

— john compton, poet

“Brentwood is one of those places where distance closes in on and surrounds intimacy. A barely opaque layer of everyplace dusting a dim lamp. Klein's subtle rhythms and generous eye catalog grief and the losses of childhood how a polaroid might, ‘unblinking, observing keenly,’ but with the ghost-patina of all memory. These are poems that have been asked: ‘do you want to disappear?’ And one must wonder, though they are so deeply present, do they?”
