About the Author
"James Broughton hops a wordscotch, keeping his lines as clean as he can, his implications as plain and significant as the nose on a face, and doubling his meanings as fast as he sorts out his words. He writes poetry, I mean, like a wicked stepmother's mirror." -- Robert Duncan
From the Back Cover
"There is an old science fiction story about a couple who tumble through a hole in the Fourth Dimension and fall into the terrifying world of which nursery rhymes are a reverberating memory; they scarcely escape with their lives. This is the realm of Broughton's poems. And there he is a master of the whimsical tone, the unexpected insight, and the hidden bite. He lives in a very special world and is an expert at pulling his audience into it, whether by his poetry or his cinema. Or perhaps he lives in the same world as everybody else but sees it from a special Fourth Dimensional vista and can happily lend you his binoculars." -- Kenneth Rexroth
From the Inside Flap
