New innovative poems by American Poet Vincent Zompa. "Chasing the answer to the turning flame's tongue," Vincent Zompa's Heard Animal offers us "a conversation in a new language." These incandescent poems of place and displacement record a restless nomad's traveling across land- scapes of memory and desire, radical uprootings of language, unholy sacraments of the imagination. Here inner and out worlds collide and " The heart is simply homesick, learning the word for windows." --L. S. Asekoff
