Publisher Marketing: "Full of memory and movement, painting and dance, the speaker in They Can Take It Out acknowledges “Art is my favorite future.” Navigating loss upon loss, she knows that “we love a woman looking sure-footed,” but that every dance is, as they say, a controlled fall. Vermeulen shows us the body in descent, tracking its graceful gestures, its pantomimes and procedures to show we each carry something extra that, though they may take it out, makes us fundamentally ourselves."—AMARANTH BORSUK, author of The Book and Pomegranate Eater
