Mon Canard

by Stephen Rodefer

Poetry. If the word Rodefer doesn't derive from the Low Dutch Classicist in the Rathskellar, perhaps it oughta. MON CANARD is typically ducky and elaborately free of flotation devices - a split atom of Ashberium with fey and heady valence squirrelling in jumpy and Catullan arcs - Tim Davis. Stephen Rodefer and his writing are, as we say in French, a force of nature - Pierre Alferi. Phoneme sex, indeed . . . give me a break Rodefer, this book makes me jealous - Jennifer Moxley. What makes this work co captivating is Rodefer's ability to orchestrate the most eclectic range of tones and discourses . . . A major poet - Maud Ellman. Among Stephen Rodefer's many books, PASSING DURATION, WRITING OUT OF CHARACTER and EMERGENCY MEASURES are still available from SPD.
