This unusual and varied collection of poems shows the poet's artistry in several forms - lyrical, comical, contemplative, inquisitive, erotic, aphoristic, cynical, playful, negative, affirmative. A reader will be constantly awakened to a new way of expressing a mood or an idea. Throughout these separate journeys, however, one thing will stand out over and over: This is a highly imaginative and extremely intelligent poet. The poems match manner to matter. Life, up against the wall. In this volume you will discover a philosophical poem called "I Fly, Therefore I Am (and Other Cartesian Obsessions)" as well as an erotic work titled "Apparation," you will read humorous aphorisms ("Aphorisms in Search of a Poem") and broad challenges ("The World Is Everything"). And when you are through with the volume, you will sit back and realize that you have just experienced a wild and clever mind.
