Eleven Hundred is as real as it is fantastical, a fantastic melding of adult and childlike imagery and themes. Jane-Rebecca Cannarella makes magic of the mundane and sorcery of the extraordinary.

Eleven Hundred is a portal into a world that limns the line between the quotidian and the surreal, grounded in pixelated and imaginative language, and peppered with possibilities. In this collection, Cannarella treats us to so many indelible and industrial-sized images such as screaming rabbits, bouquets of morphine lollipops, and a single instance of astonishing and egregious violence seemingly out of nowhere that, whether explicit or not, inform many of these amazing poems. If these poems were actual colors, they would be kaleidoscopic, tinged with the anxiety of the times we live in, but colorful and alive, all the same.




- Michelle Reale, Author of Season of Subtraction




Like a Lynch film, Jane-Rebecca Cannarella's poems lodge themselves uncomfortably, yet seductively, into your consciousness. Her collection is a diary of provocative poetic precision that stuns from the first line. Through poems about love, loss, food, travel, and pop culture, Cannarella fashions a bookscape you never want to leave. This collection is many adjectives--among them brilliant, beautiful, unnerving, and real. Cannarella is a formidable poet.
