The Really Perfect Poem Has an Infinitely Small Vocabulary

The theme of this volume is the inadequacy of language which both compounds and compels the possibility of poetry. The poet attempts to reach inside of language itself, trying and failing to describe the everyday experiences of the world, yet revelling in the enrichment wrought by failure.
