They are messages received from the chatter of the street and from transmissions as distant as Memphis and al-Mansur. Bulletins and interruptions come from brutal elsewheres and from the interior where music puts electrodes on the body to take an EKG. These poems visit high schools, laundromats, motels, films, and dreams in order to measure the American hunger and thirst. They are interested in the things we profess to hold most dear as well as whatOCOs unspoken and unbidden. While weOCOre driving, while riding a bus, while receiving a call, while passing through an X-ray machine, the personal is intersectedOCosometimes violently, sometimes tenderlyOCowith the hum and buzz of the culture.
