Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. Highsmith writes: I fly the reclamation run, my scope / an open channel, salvage outfit / irrigation in the shadow maw, a ditch / opposite cowl, vaporetto, motors astride / a lawless plain, plowshares at rest[.] This is a curiously various array of recent work by a perpetual outsider whose idiosyncratic formalism tinged with what might be called cowboy surrealism, engages, without hubris, the urban hard edge within another generation's post-avant--Anne Hedonia. You're very lucky, brother--Robert Creeley.
