Poetry. "This stunning debut collection links images and observations that absolutely claim their moments, nudging the reader into a persistent sense of mystery, possibility, and sometimes the tease of threat. In the tradition of Magic Realism, it blurs the boundaries between the quotidian and the fantastic, stretching and blending, until the reader might well wonder, 'I know where I've landed, but how did I get here?' Kramer's poems have extraordinary authority; every sentence is shapely and urgent, every passage exquisitely textured, every provocation earned and convincing. It is impossible, then, to resist or question a single one of their flights."—Leslie Ullman MUSEUM OF DISTANCE is an Ovidian adventure, in which thousands of images play a kind of dream-tag, each one prompting the next. Though flashes of autobiography appear occasionally, the book is very far from the typical stories-from-my-life collection. Instead, Ashley Seitz Kramer is committed to evoking the fungibility of experience as processed by imagination. 'I made my own bicycle / from cereal boxes…I made a photograph from broken seashells. / I made a bat-house from orange peels.' Kramer's world is akin to the world of Dean Young—a world in which everything is changing before you know it. Kramer's poems are like seeds—'each with a desire to sprout, each with genuine thirst.'"—Mark Halliday

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Future Poet Laureate By Allison R Phenomenal. I met her and Angela Ball at Austin Peay State University where they both performed readings. Seitz Kramer has a dry, humorous delivery reminiscent of U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins. Her poems are clever, elegant, and masterfully written. After I heard her reading I bought a copy for myself and I have found her writing style so striking. Highly recommend this book and looking forward to the day when she releases an audio version as well.

A beautiful and unique book of poetry By Jodie Ashley Seitz Kramer’s book of poems Museum of Distance is both stunningly beautiful and strikingly unique. Though this is Kramer’s debut book, her poems do not disappoint. As a young college student fumbling my way through life, I found Kramer’s celebration of everyday, common experiences enlightening and refreshing. Yet, at the same time that she explores the quotidian, Kramer stretches to explore the imaginative and the fantastic. Her poems speak honestly and from the heart as she explores the affordances of light and color in new and unique ways. The poems themselves are both bright and colorful even as she discusses these topics. For example, in “Astonishment for the Sparrows” Kramer writes that “I noticed how / the light only fell where you laid it down. Secretly / I doubted the idea of measurement—its instruments, / my own.” Here, Kramer discusses the elusive nature of light and uses light as a metaphor for truth.In many ways, the poems within Museum of Distance are like an impressionist painting. From close up, her many expressive images seem unrelated, and to the inexperienced reader, disconcerting. However, the overall effect is one of entrancing beauty and texture. She invites her readers to step into her world stating in “Hymn for the Leaping Pig” that “There is room for every nervous creature.” She further invites readers to “return, then, to this pond, / epoch of agelessness, and witness this pig that leaps to where / the water is brightest, where there is room for you.”

Museum of Distance By Amazon Customer While the myriad of images and snippets is difficult to understand as a linear narrative, her poems have a beautiful rhythm, and I was pleased to find that her entire book carried the same ear for sound. Kramer slips in and out of colloquial stream of consciousness, and solid images, and the effect is a beautifully written, refreshing poem that is both easy to access through language, and not pinned down by one interpretation, “He plucked the chewed gum/ from the sand and he ate it and oh my god/ refused to spit it out.” The collection is named “Museum of Distance,” and in a way, it’s Kramers poems that move from one place at the beginning of her poem to a new conclusion by the end - the book becomes a museum of the distances crossed in the exploration of moments and ideas in her poems.My favorite poem in the collection, is named “A Cup of Salt Consumes the Sea”, which begins “I want this line to be long the way sleep is long because the man I love is missing from his body.” While at the beginning, we’re relatively certain the “line” the poet is referring to is the first line of the poem, later ‘the line’ becomes, “...long enough for his aching,” and then Kramer calls it out directly, “What can I trust if I can’t trust the very line that requires me.” Her entire collection follows that same free verse exploration of concepts that makes this specific one stand out to me so much.
