Produktbeschreibung
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."
