Exactments & Other Poems

This volume collects the author's poetry chapbooks, all originally written in early 1980's New York City and distributed in small, stapled, xeroxed copies. They vary widely into tone, structure, style and voice, ranging from impressionistic haiku-like narrative monads, to dense abstract fables, from aphoristic progressions to lyric expositions. Together, these chapbooks possess a cumulative existence as a singular whole, a text whose excursions into the poetic is itself the poem.
