Summary: Generally: The frontier of literature is the expressive
nature of language itself. David focuses on transforming words into
lyric having an aesthetic beauty that is both collaborative with
and independent of meaning. All of his work is written to be read
aloud. The reader is a co-creator, and David structures his work to
allow the reader intimate interpretive choices in the work's
presentation. Each of David's books is a complete whole: no poem,
story, or chapter is meant to stand alone. Their order,
progression, and the words and images that tread between them are
meant to reveal different faces of the same central themes that
David treats. His fiction strives for a subtlety that frees the
field of interpretive depth, and then bores in with pure invective.
His poetry advances each word as its own ultimate and primary form,
so that all is text or void, without the restricting channels of
punctuation. The text always pours and pours. The reader must grab
one piece and ride it out, then commander another buoyant concept
to ride again. Always, the fleeting existence of sounds pronounced
is the right forum for the work. David aspires to celebrate the
oneness and valor of humanity, dredging from our complexity one
simple direction of creation. With appropriate awe, he searches for
the self, and in turn the divine, in the complicit detail that
surrounds life. He lauds the gifts of identity that come from our
biology, anthropology, and science, even as we struggle and fail to
surpass their strictures. He seeks to confront the reader with the
thrilling and raw nature of conviction and compassion. In Call it
Perpetual, In David's second collection, he changes the focus to
unity. More poems engage characters rather than seeking a direct
dialogue with the reader. These varied observations find all roads
leading back to the human cause and root, living in perpetuity,
indefatigable, and undeniable. But the work is not called
"Perpetual;" it is an imperative. Identity is still constrained
within our limits of articulation.
