Publisher's Synopsis
In editing Requiem For the Faintly Deceased into La Crème, I soon was aware of the inherently arbitrary decisions. Working without an editor is working without a sound board, and I soon scrutinized in that I may not have picked (entirely) the best poems, and this sent me scraping through old editions, stripping from it poems whole and reworking earlier ones whose flaws, in my eyes, time has shed and vagrancies made clear. Eventually, I decided they deserved their own space, so herein lies La Crème in its entirety and 23 poems out from the vaults.
