from words construct emotions
in syllables validate
life with letters need lingual
confirmation however
inadequate to express
gazed conspiracies of joy

This sixth volume of Mr. Purdom's critically ignored formal confessional language flarf performance art epic combines plain English with found and invented words in syntactically ambiguous and grammatically inappropriate configurations of incomprehensible sentimental angst-ridden romantic religiosity inexplicably divided into two twelve-poem chapters titled "Misinterpretations" and "San Francisco." Not recommended.

Reviews: Like a koan
The poet's third annual volume of twenty-four short poems about our relationships with God, nature, ourselves and each other, including:
Sushi
bear in the stream cross legged
on the mat shoes left behind
in the rapture of dinner's
companion and the long walk
after human memories
shaped, shaping, carefully rolled
the table does not divide
