    About this ebook

    "

    A collection of poems whose fixationin time and subject matter
    ranges from the romantic to the political to the phantasmal. The
    images portrayed give a sense that years separate the events
    and emotions inspiring them. Though they are based on the
    experiences of one person still they seem to inspire in the reader
    something akin to dj vu which may occasionally cause the
    hair follicles to stand on end.

      I was promised a girl held her glossy image, shatterable, ice skating on a Soviet pond. I’d never seen snow but for the cut out paper flakes hung in school hallways. I only knew rain as intermittent confusion. Los Angeles in the ’80s. We set fire to
