About this title

Synopsis

A key figure stands behind many of these poems, whose humanity and accomplishment are alluded to in a number of ways: Charles Potts, whose contributions to the literary world as poet, essayist, and publisher are legendary…Like Potts, klipschutz is passionately erudite…His range of subject matter and concern is vast, and seems endlessly versatile, both in detail and in tone. his self-image as poet could be described through the line that has him “flying coach inside my cape.”
~James Bertolino (from the foreward)
author of Ravenous Bliss: New and Selected Love Poems

These breezy, seemingly of-the-cuff poems gleam with a subversive intelligence. Sometimes baffling, puzzling, often quite funny, they are always lively and interesting–clusters of living language deftly captured on the page, objects created by “mouthing / fricatives & phonemes” while “eyeing dogwood blossoms” and “footing it beneath / an unimpeachably blue sky.”
