The four sections of this book (House Reel, Travelogue, Answer Print, End Title) are intriguing. The author extends that creativity with an opening poem, “Luminology.” The way his book is put together is reminiscent of a play or movie.

The four sections of this book (House Reel, Travelogue, Answer Print, End Title) are intriguing.  The author extends that creativity with an opening poem, “Luminology.”  The way his book is put together is reminiscent of a play or movie.  From the poem “Night Windows”: “It’s what you mean to me. New glasses. / See how little things have changed. Now look. / We seldom sleep enough to dream…”.  You will feel a sense of place reading these poems, whether on the earth or not.  It’s like having a conversation with the poet, seeing what he sees, feeling what he feels.
