Tridents of Glass and Other Poems

A dazzling collection of visionary poetry spanning several decades with influences as varied as Rilke, Rimbaud, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Louise Gluck, and French avant garde poet René Char, as well as modern pop music spanning from Bob Dylan and the Beatles to Punk Rock and Hip Hop. Tridents of Glass is a 24-part poem from 2021 about the search for intimacy in an increasingly dystopian world.
Each poem can be taken in its own, or viewed as a part of the whole and every fourth poem acts as a kind of chorus, framing the background for the poems before and after it.   The remainder of the collection was culled from the 1980s to the present, including a large body written in 2022 after Tridents of Glass, exploring lighter moods and more divergent styles.
