Rumpus review of Belmont

Rumpus review of Belmont

“Burt’s ability to shift between various speakers proves especially remarkable as the book unfolds. At turns narrated by a father, various figures in the arts, and a newborn baby, the book’s poly-vocal quality prompts us to consider the ways in which these perspectives are complimentary. For Burt, the arts serve to remind us of the wonder, appreciation, and awe inherent in the child’s point of view, even as we grow older and begin to accumulate responsibility after responsibility.”

Thanks to The Rumpus for the terrific review.
