Deconstruction of the Blues

Brilliant. "Writing About Writing." And death. And existence. The mystery of self and others, the connections between us. "life this hot painted wandering burning to burn the book of itself." Exquisite comedy and play of language. Richard Silberg is the rare philosopher linguist poet with humor and great heart. "how it sucks our souls out between our teeth to write it to you dear reader these words." Yes, and "what joy!" You will finish this book, dear reader, "feeling unreasonably happy." All are wonderful but there are some truly astounding poems here.— Sharon Doubiago
