Poetry. Mark DuCharme's poems are "thoroughly surreal, yet not bumptiously so. There's dignity in his `madness' and thereby a composition of new sense. One senses that the new sense, while playful, is also keenly expressive of a social view. DuCharme's poetry, with its pioneering juxtapositions, grows on you in humor, sense and poetic beauty. Featured amidship is a wild, 26-page alphabet zoo. And then there are the other poems: realistic, even deadly, like `Provisional Kiwi,' so that we wind up with a tough-mindedness that ranges, cinematically, from Brakhage to Bogart and back. Love of language's dynamics dominates all"--Jack Collom.
