Squish Boots

by Clive Matson, William Blake (Illustrator)

Open this book and fall into a tumultuous world where each act sings, shouts and cries the full chorus of the unconscious. Matson uses kaleidoscopic images that infiltrate our work-a-day defenses and invite our deepest feelings and truths to surface. "Delightful and penetrating at the same time, these poems are a revelation"-Susan Griffin. Clive Matson has written seven other books of poetry, including EQUAL IN DESIRE, available through SPD.

About the author

Clive Matsons (MFA Columbia University) first book, Mainline to the Heart (1966) was published by Diane di Primas Poets Press. Members of the Beat Generation were his teachers. Clive teaches creative writing, using his text, Let the Crazy Child Write! (1998). His seventh volume of poems, Squish Boots (2002), was placed, amazingly, in the coffin of his mentor, John Wieners. Chalcedonys First Ten Songs (2007) is his current enthusiasm, a passionate, erotic and spiritual voice.
