250 single page 21st century poems from a writer who refined his
approach to poetry during the San Francisco Renaissance of the
1950s and 60s. The book is graced by collages prepared by his
daughter who was born then and whose work reflects some homage to
her father's then friend, Jess Collins, whose own works gained
prominence at that same time. Brown's approach he believes is
shaped by his admiration for the poetry of Wallace Stevens, John
Berryman and Jack Spicer. From his poem, "Chase Away": "The words
Crumby wants have no shape, not fingerprints,/ just mortal
meandering that goes from breakfast to supper,/ mentioning a
quiver, a slight pain, an excitement, or colors/ that keep the
snarling dog at bay, that while away the day." Kevin Killian wrote:
"Shake any three poems out of this box of cards, flip them over,
get ready to laugh and get ready to feel your consciousness blip to
the surface, like bubbles in the best champagne."
