Something, She's Dead

by Ted Greenwald

Poetry. Long, intriguing poem by a modern master of the thickly prosodized, speech-based writing which comes out of both the New York School and Language writing. Greenwald is the author of many books. including WORD OF MOUTH, COMMON SENSE and most recently JUMPING THE LINE (Roof). There is love, sex and a noir feeling in SOMETHING, SHE'S "Night closes in/ Kind of snowish/ Wind at the door/ Forcing complete sentences/ Pass lips/ Between friends/ Dreamy moves filigree/ Follow a box heart/ Hedge bets ..." Perfectbound chapbook.

Private parts, if they could speak,
