Greg Delanty grew up in a family of printers, and as a youth he
worked in the composing room. A hellbox is the bin into which
printers chucked broken or worn type, and the conceit that unites
this collection is the technology, lore, and tradition of hot-metal
printing. Here, the language of printing--literal and
symbolic--inspires a series of moving and powerful poems.
Delanty writes with an impetuous daring that combines controlled
rhetoric with a vernacular tang, especially in the long title-poem,
which describes his immigration to the United States and his
attempt to deal with feelings of uprootedness in "the continuous
sci-fi movie of our century."
