Summary
Composing an arranged marriage of the bestial and humane, this anthology finds a balance between instinct and intellect. The featured poems clarify vision through the funhouse mirror - logic is strained, existence contracts and multiplies, connections amputate and then graft in incongruous ways - reflecting the human race's own absurd image. From Nancy Reagan promoting crab salad to Paris spilling into the countryside and a hammer seeking understanding through a vase, this assemblage of often disparate elements attempts the ultimate reconciliation - that of the mind with the world.
