"Estha Weiner writes poems that look effortless, yet their premise can change with every line, every syllable, like sonnets so honed as to be all volta. Erich Auerbach wrote that Dante discovered how to write about events, not just feelings. Weiner's poems are events themselves, contained whirlwinds; they can turn--as in "At the American Burger"--against the authorial stance. IN THE WEATHER OF THE WORLD is disciplined, volatile, subversive. It's a thrill to watch Weiner's lens zoom into an unassuming moment of daily life, inhabit it, and disclose the vast, strangely unexplored territories of contemporary history." --D. Nurkse
