These poems, experiments done over thirty years, test the
fluctuating boundary between normal uses of words and compressed,
figurative uses. Some of these poems are about people the speaker
(not necessarily the writer) has loved, whether happily or
unhappily. Others are about what may loosely be called
""dystopias."" These poems do not describe malformed societies but
work instead on the level of one individual's sense of things gone
wrong beyond his or her own little sphere of twentieth-century
American life. Toward the end of the book are some adolescent
effusions, not to say ejaculations. Many of these poems are written
in free-verse, full of discontinuities and dream images. Many are
not rhymed and metered, but instead experiment with the movements
of the reading voice as guided by line lengths, typographical
spacings, and unconventional punctuation.
