Read excerpt

Poet Ron Padgett Ted Greenwald's 3 takes the mind in at least three different directions simultaneously, in hardboiled, richly detailed, well-made poems whose giddy wordplay, pantoum-like interweavings, and nimble jumpcuts create a sort of 21st-century Poet in New York. An inspired challenge and a delight.

Filmmaker Nathanial Dorsky Within this selection of three works, we come upon the most unusual, if not revolutionary moment in the universe called Ted Greenwald. Suddenly the risk of self as such takes place. Though his poetry always bares the honest song of a fragmented accumulation, the float of our existence, here Ted reveals an exposition of tender, romantic suchness amidst rhythmic refrains classically structured and filled with sunlight and place, the vulnerable underbelly of his Arcadian being is unveiled.

While poet Tom Raworth urges us to "Just read the fucking book."
