In otherworldly vignettes, \u003ci\u003e1994\u003c\/i\u003e pairs the unreliable narration of \u003ci\u003eJacob's Ladder\u003c\/i\u003e (with its questions of identity and shifting realities) with the microscopic compulsiveness of \u003ci\u003eEinstein's Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e. The book's sense of hypnotic premeditation brings \u003ci\u003eDonnie Darko\u003c\/i\u003e to mind as well, as poem after poem scatters the breadcrumbs of a murder mystery leading us further away from the present self and deeper into the past. \u003ci\u003eI Have to Go Back to 1994 and Kill a Girl\u003c\/i\u003e is\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ean astounding debut collection that will crawl under your skin and stay there.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eI Have to Go Back to 1994 and Kill a Girl\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkable book.
