FOR LACK of DIAMOND YEARS is an idiosyncratic collection of short poems - most under 20 lines - where questions lead the way.
The poems are a mixed set of free verse, unabashed counting forms like the Hay(na)ku and the Elfchen, and a very minimalist version of John Cage's mesostic form, along with a small number of poems based on colors, and a few that steal freely from traditional American songs. Rather than order the poems by kind, they mingle according to an intuitive sense of what's next, what's gone before, so that in a loose, impressionistic way there is a story of sorts being told.
