Synopsis

These poems and prose texts confront the bewilderments and emergencies of ordinary life, for which we never seem to be prepared and which leave us in danger of becoming ghosts of our own exhaustion. A stark, enraged humor gives the work a brutal yet strangely delicate physical presence. "His work is remarkable for its imagery, often startling and violent, but always vividly real." -- Helen Adams
