An anthology of poetic reflections. In Envoi, he writes: "No angst in the anthill / What happens is what happens / And what happened to happen never existed to start with / Still, who wants a life like that / No next and no before, no yesterday, no today." No library descriptions found. |

Ultimately fatigue triumphed over delight.
I sorely need to reread the concluding third of this book as my eyes burned from a forced march of a day. The poet is not to blame. There is a just a desire, a hope to make things better.
The language in this tome is precisely jagged. There are exquisite images here this collection, ones as rapturous as the wounds of Saint Sebastian as evocative as the arc light craters outside Phnom Penh.
Everyone indulge and expiate. ( )
