Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. Manner is everything; but in this work's alphabetical arrangement is offered more than a predetermined taxonomy of means. Here, rather, is a series of lyric and meditative inducements. They 'consider, ' quite literally 'observe the stars' in an endless variety, discretely shaped and arcing with a grace of reckoning from A to Z. 'On Accretion (with Allegory)' determines, '... Perfection, whose brother is Improvisation, /is restrained from Definition, whose mother is Inquiry.' And 'On Zygotes and Thanatos' resolves, '... at the shore-line/signaling with fire ...' Everything between sustains a momentum of original discovery and provides a measured set of refinements of newly observable truths. These are writings of quality--not of qualification.--Ray DiPalma
