The poetry in this volume is somewhat difficult, but I don't say its difficulty in itself is a gift; that's the experience of reading someone who has departed from the usual fare to arrive at a unique voice and a consequently unfamiliar world view. Such poetry can be for some a kind of revelation while for others an exasperation--which is also a gift. Larry Laurence's poetry in this volume is in line with Gertrude Stein; in one poem, he nods to her by quoting from her work. His own poetry stands well above the popular notion of experimentation....The poem "Despair/Experiments" captures the theme of this collection. In fact, the combined meaning of those two terms portrays the alienation within the heart of our cities while playing within the waves and the roll of language where we are soaked by every instance of human contact. He brings in endearing memories stirred up by homely simple experience and imbues it all with what he refers to as the Ironic/ Post-Ironic wisdom of the poet."-- Michael Daley, Editor at Dos Madres Press Poetry.
