about

New release for National Poetry Day 2020

"...what use for hands test various positions flat cupped gripping rest dead no use feel uneasy with presence empty feeling nothing clarify they feel the nothingness clarify further the nothingness of what is at hand no life no other life to hold imagine concrete statue fixed position lovers none..."

THE LOSS OF SENSE is an experimental prose poem in twenty-four parts. Framed within the context of a twenty-four hour cycle, the poem breaks down typical sentence construction and use of language to mirror the seemingly non-linear thought processes of the depressed mind.
