From the Action Books site:

Wundercritic Daniel Tiffany’s third book of poems. A sphinx made of soldier and siren, of secrecy and prophecy: a killer serial poem.

“a storm is now upon us.”
-Kevin Killian

“The poems in Privado show how the drab style and the golden style go together.”
-Aaron Kunin
