Simply Gone

Twenty poems and one short story, which fluctuate between the philosophical and the intimately emotional.

“There’s the echo of the (very) personal here. To some extent, in reading this manuscript, I think of the so-called “Confessional” poets—e.g., Plath, Sexton, Olds, Lowell to some extent, and even Berryman. In some ways, maybe especially Berryman because he shrouded his existential angst and personal foibles in persona and caricature.

Very much unlike the Confessionals, however (with maybe the exception of Plath [. . .]), if there are characters here, if there is a story here, it feels very much in service of larger, Cosmic concepts.”
