"Rather than leave behind what so often fades in memory, the poems in Roy Christopher's 'Abandoned Accounts' hold onto each hypercolor detail even as 'giant, plate-glass plans' are made. But the real joy comes from the seemingly random and temporary connections described with sensuous turns of phrase. To borrow a line from 'Body Language', Christopher 'betrays [our] best effort / to remain innocent, quiet, and disengaged.'"
